So this sounds like a HP-UX specific problem.
As such, it would be great if the current 0.1 second chunk delay (and
similar delay in tramp-send-linewise) was a defvar which could be set
to 0.0 on non-HPUX (and non-Tru64) platforms.
That would make tramp run MUCH faster. I tried this on GNU/Linux, and
it makes a huge difference!
