Well, 115.2K teeters on the edge of usability with the built-in serial
port, so it doesn't take much to push it over. :-) Of course if the driver
is doing something obscene like copying all the data under a Disable() it
should be shot.

Indeed that doesn't sound very good. With my AriadneII and the MNI driver
I saw 4.6ms for the *very* first access to a not-terribly-fast Mac
(presumably due to ARP), and then 2.2ms thereafter.
