──── = Data transfer in progress.
oooo = Packet check in progress. (no data being transferred).

Seconds: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
If we take those 8 seconds illustrated above and add all the time data
is being transferred and all the time no data is transferred because
the individual packets are being checked, we come up with the following:
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── = 6.4 Seconds
oooooooooooooo = 1.4 Seconds
Xmodem spends nearly 1 part in every 7 simply checking data, with NO
data transfer in progress. Think about that next time you're transferring
a file looooooonnnnngg diiiiistance ($$$). What's a mother to do?.....
