Your improvement survived my first test, and it's indeed much faster. But
now I noticed it does not work reliably unfortunately. :(
I managed to make it fail now, it was sending a 16 character long string,
namely
["DE" 2 "AX" 25]
and it only got
["DE" 2 "AX" 25
(15 chars) with the first read-io.
As it should, it then tried to get the last byte. But it never got it, so it
got stuck in an endless loop trying to get this last byte. I do wonder what
the problem is here. Oh well, I guess I'll go back to the working (but
slow) solution. I don't know how to report this problem in a useful way
since I can't reproduce it, it just seems to happen randomly.
