The Omnykey 3121 [1] is an APDU reader and the T=1 protocol is
implemented by the reader.
The ACR38U [2] is a TPDU reader and the T=1 is implemeted by the
driver (with the logs you see).

I don't want to go into details. If you want more information you
should read ISO 7816-3.

Have you _measured_ a slowdown? What are the numbers?

Note that readers are _not_ equivalent. Some readers are faster than
others. Have a look at [3] with readers sorted by dwMaxDataRate.
