[Coco] CoCoSDC performance issue - can someone try this from OS-9?

[Allen Huffman]

Update: I am also seeing long delays when trying to save out a tiny BASIC09 program. I think it may just be RBF being slow on a full hard drive. I have nearly 128MB of stuff on this drive, so perhaps RBF just has to do lots of digging to find a spot.

I will defrag and see what happens.
