Yes, those are 'proplists' for each of the 1000 children. The client
should be parsing that stream in real time, and caching the data in
memory. When it's done parsing, it starts performing GET requests,
and that's when the user sees the first "A".

Maybe that's the real problem here... can the client really take 3
minutes just to parse 1000 of those <response> objects? I mean,
neither client nor server is "blocking" on the other, as they used to
be, but still this system isn't optimal. :-(
