in fact, the diehard interactive computing human factors people objected
to the change from (channel attached) 3272/3277 to 3274/3278. late 70s
and early 80s were era of ibm studies and reports about improved human
productivity with interactive response better than .25sec .... mvs/tso
system response was typically 1sec or worse ... and then you add
hardware time to system response ... for response seen by the user.

3272 controller time was consistent .086sec ... to have quarter sec.
response ... system response had to be .164secs or better (I was
shipping and supporting internal vm370/cms systems with .11sec system
response). 3274 controller hardware response varied but had minimum
around .336sec (and typically 1/2sec or worse). some past refs

complaints to 3274 product administrator eventually came back with
response that 3274 was designed for data entry (computerized keypunch),
not interfactive computing.
