This is normal behaviour. The dots are printed  one  per  second,  so
they give an apprximation how long the erase takes. It is normal that
it  will  take longer and longer the older your flash gets (i. e. the
more rease cycles it has gone through)

In this case the increase was approx.  15%  which  is  poretty  long;
either  your  flash  is  brand new (burn in phase) or it's pretty old
(near end of life)?
