Not to put too fine a point on it, but the 100 cycle limit is
only on the lock bits, I think. This is specified at the
extreme limits of voltage and temperature.
At normal room conditions, actual NXTs were reflashed (which
cycles the lock bits) at least 7,000 times before failure.
Your mileage, will of course vary :-)
