You're chaining all requests together? What happens if you
don't do that?

BTW, the chaining of write requests is not strictly
necessary, you can probably achieve very similar performance
by just issuing multiple independent normal write requests
in parallel with different MID values. A bit more effort on
the client side, but it will most likely gain you even
better performance because the server is free to reply to
the requests in any order it wishes to.
