Just try.

If I have to query several files from the token, and do some private key operation, it should be much faster just to do it than to call pkcs11-tool several times - which has to initilize, login, and query every time. It may not be a time difference of minutes I'm speaking of ... but 5 or 0.5 seconds makes a UI-difference.
