Paul, I believe you mispelled "to get better user perceived performance".
Anyone who's worked with SNA knows that if the 3270 paints the screen
in 1 second, after waiting 8 seconds, then it's obviously better than
the serial termina that starts painting at 3 seconds, and is done at 7:
"why, obviously: the 3270 painted the screen 4 times faster!"

You're suggesting that 1.1 can multiplex more than one item retrieval
over a single connection? Interleaved, I mean, not in series.
