Suppose you write a data sanitizing program that writes multiple passes of random data to storage locations. Further, suppose you ran this program twice, first to sanitize 1 GB of flash storage and second of sanitize 1 GB of hard disk storage. If the execution time to sanitize the hard disk was much longer than the time to sanitize the flash storage, the reason is probably that the program's process was spending much more total time in which state?
