MBED TDBStore (init) very slow, better options

Hi All
I need some help / guidance with implementing TDBStore on my STM32. Building a data logger and for a test I’m storing a small packet about every 6 sec to my SB card.

My main problem is that every time I call int32_t result = tdbStoreObj.init(); it takes about 3.5sec to execute. I read somewhere that i should init and deinit each time I access the Store. But at 3.5sec per save it is just not possible.Can I just tdbStoreObj.init(); during my setup?

What are my other options.

My next question will be with 512b block size what is the best way to deal with this

Here is a short version of my code.

#include <SDMMCBlockDevice.h>
#include <TDBStore.h>

char tdbsKeyChar; // This will hold the integer version of 'tdbsKey as an Char, i know its fucked!!!!!
uint32_t tdbsKey;                       // TDBStore key / Packet Counter
SDMMCBlockDevice sdBlockDevice;         // Create an SD block device
TDBStore tdbStoreObj(&sdBlockDevice);         // Create a key/value store on the SD

int tdbStoreSave(char* key, dlSdPacket* packet); // Store a SketchStats to the the k/v store
int initBlockDevice();
int sdSetUp();
int dlSavePacket(dlSdPacket* dataPacket();

int sdSetUp() {
    int result;
    TDBStore* tdbStoreObj = new TDBStore(&sdBlockDevice);
    result = initBlockDevice();
    if (result == 0) {
        //tdbsKeyIterator(tdbStoreObj, "tdbStore");
        //tdbsReset(tdbStoreObj, "tdbStore");
    }
    return result;
}
