In this aspect I'm commenting as someone who sees user complaints from 
time to time about how VS Code or etc are faster at remote development 
than Emacs, and now saw this myself. This particular issue looks like a 
speed bump that could be removed for good improvement in basic latency.

But perhaps it's better approached by optimizing in other places.
