In fact it's for the virtual reader (or when using SM protection with 
the distant keysets).

I'm trying to reduce as much as possible the number of APDU transactions.

On of the method is to regroup the APDUs in chain.
For example, to read/write from/into the big EF
there is need to get the real card response after each particular APDU 
-- all of them can be sent to the distant client (server) in one package.
