Public bug reported:

The current "purge" option (see bug #355336) iterates over all 512
blocks of my GT-120. Even when only a few have been written. Even though
the unused blocks are only read, and not cleared if not neccesary, this
still takes time.

A fast purge would calculate the number of blocks that requiring
clearing from the number of points listed in the configuration block,
and just start there, skipping the reading of never-written blocks.
