Yes, but we're talking about bandwidth vs latency here.  In a perfect
world we would have empirical evidence to help us make our decisions,
but for now, it's just my intuition that the cost of, in your example,
sending six extra lines from the client is less than the cost of
waiting for the lines from the server to show up.
