OK, you talked me into it... I did some tests on a pair of 16C57's
     with the following results.

     2 minutes in my old eraser - part read back as not erased
     2 more minutes - parts read back as erased!

     I think in the future I'll give the 5x parts about 6-8 minutes unless
     I start having trouble erasing parts.  Also, I think I was
     over-estimating the time I was taking before, instead of 45 minutes it
     was probably more like 20-30 minutes.  I never really paid attention
     to how long it took.
