You could load or write all 48K of the TS 2068 in that amount of time? That seems ultra-fast.

Maximum available RAM on a 2068 using BASIC was about 38K.
NEW
PRINT FREE
it gives total free RAM.
Timex FDD was fast too. No more than 10 seconds to read a "heavy" game.
Timex and Spectrum tape speed was 2400 bps.
