Well, I was keying off the article itself, which said the following: The long length of the tape held in a cartridge—normally hundreds of meters—results in average data-access times of 50 to 60 seconds
It's tens of seconds, up to a minute, but that's just average, so I think we're on the same page here!
Even when not in academia, everything has to be funded by someone at some point. Sounds like you have a pretty awesome job though, and I imagine Stanford is one of the least likely to get cut off from precious NSF grants!
