I'd say it's Cygwin, not socat, but yes.

Okay, I tried that, and with the select reactor, it's great! 3s flat!

With the GTK reactor... still 220s. So, no luck.

I've only shown the simplest possible protocol here - if I really did
encapsulate all the possible commands and interactions in a
synchronous subprocess, I'd basically be writing all the protocols
twice.

Besides, none of that will help if the GTK reactor can't communicate
with anything properly.
