But at some point, a thing you observe can be borderline ridiculous,
and you have to say something.
Five seconds to prepare a 2.5 KB message. That's a "lot" of washing
and rinsing.
Back in the day, if we were using a comms program on a 6MHz processor,
it would have sent an NNTP post in a lot less time than this. Kermin
with his TRN4 gets better performance than this :-)
It's like a cupcake with a foot-thick coating of icing on top :-)
At some point you have to say "enough with the icing already".
