My guess is that you didn't even try to understand what I was getting at.
Have you ever used a Telnet connection when the echo of the characters you
typed appeared several seconds later? Just look:
[user] [server]
types "b"
---"b" gets sent-->
receives "b"
<--echo "b" is sent
sees his "b"
types "l"
---"l" gets sent-->
receives "l"
<--echo "l" is sent
sees his "l"
If the connection is fast, the "-----transfer--->" times are only a
fraction of a second. If it is not, it's MUCH faster to use the default
buffering all in/out ports have:
[user] [server]
types "b"
types "l" -"b" sent->
types "a" -"l" sent-> receives "b"
types "h" <-"b" -"a" sent-> receives "l"
sees "b" <-"l" -"h" sent-> receives "a"
sees "l" <-"a" receives "h"
sees "a" <-"h"
sees "h"
Twice the amount of letters in the same time... The same WOULD work in
TB!, IMHO. The default standard waits are _sometimes_ useless, like in
this case, I think. But anyway I might be wrong :)
