This is normal.  I'm not just exactly sure why it happens, but I do
know that the total time to refresh a screen is still very reasonable
in comparison to other modems on the market, and absolutely blows away
2400 baud.

(It may be a function of the ping-pong going on between the modems.)

There is nothing you can do to change it.
