Optimize ef_write_block function:
The function did single byte writing until a start of a page was detected. Only in that case a multi byte write was used. According to the manual page write is not limited to 256 byte. Multiple bytes may be written until the end of the page is reached
=> Changed implementation to always use multi byte writes which increases the performance of the write block function
