Subj : Poor SIO2k performance with BBS

So, google has failed me on this, and I figure ya'll might have some idea what 
obvious thing I missed.

The BBS is running TG/2, using SIO2k for telnet, but the performance via the 
network is... less than satisfactory.

I'm assuming it's something in the modem configuration I either don't remember 
or skimmed over in the docs, but at time the latency feels exceedingly high 
and/or slower than expected, given everything is locked at 57600.

The major performance thing is loading big ANSI screens like menus or doors; 
you can end up looking non-responsive for 10-15 seconds and then getting a big 
dump all at once which is certainly confusing to people since it looks broken.

But: everything is locked, set to the same speed, and the modem configurations 
are the correct irq/dma and like, it all works, just slower than I'm 
expecting.

There something I should look at that anyone remembers, or am I just 
misremembering the performance due to like, 30 years of haze?
