Yes, that is why the Wisp628 measured significantly faster than my
programmers for the empty cases.  Actually I think that is a legitimate
optimization.  You could interpret no data in the HEX file as meaning "don't
care" as apposed to assuming the erased state, in which case there is no
point checking the result.  My programming software does not include such
optimization.  It makes the conservative assumption that unspecified values
are intended to be the erased value and checks them all twice.  Maybe a
command line switch some day would be appropriate.
