Claim 14:
15. The method of claim 14, wherein:
the second set of one or more data states is a last data state with highest threshold voltages of all data states;
the completing the programming process for memory cells of the set of non-volatile memory cells arranged in multiple planes that are targeted to the second set of data states comprises only performing programming for the last data state; and
the completing the programming process for memory cells of the set of non-volatile memory cells arranged in multiple planes that are targeted to the second set of data states comprises programming memory cells of the slow plane at a speed that has been increased from a respective nominal speed and programming memory cells of a plane other than the slow plane at a speed that has not been increased from a respective nominal speed.
