FWIW, I also see similar one-char-at-a-time behavior from a Pfeiffer Maxigauge TPG-256-A. This is using the serial interface on the gauge-controller through a moxa 5650 terminal server.

We are using 3.14.11 with the asyn and streamdevice version as distributed in synapps 5.5.

I think that this is the result of the device (stupidly and inefficiently) sending one character per IP packet.

The reason is that the first byte uses a different timeout (ReplyTimeout) than the others (ReadTimeout). The rest is fetched in 63 bytes chunks because I use an internal buffer of 64 bytes and want to be able to add a null byte at the end to avoid problems with some debug output.
