There is a psychological effect here. I once had a similar experience.
The (character mode) screen was fed by a slow modem and the
contents kind of "dribbled" down the screen. Users were complaining
about "slow response". We changed the system to buffer up all
incoming data until we had it all and then "flashing" it onto the screen
in one go. Users got their information slower, but all applauded us
for the "great improvement in response time".
