(olin will probably answer specific to his proggers, but I can't resist) - communication speed matters only when it is an important aspect. speeding up the fastest step in a process will not have much overall effect. - speed is not the only metric for a communication channel. latency is another one, especially for a protocol that was originally designed for a channel (RS232) that has a very low latency (especially compared to its speed).
