The pain of BASIC GET#

Hey guys,

I'm trying to shore up BASIC support for #FujiNet.

Since everything is handled via KERNAL I/O, we can indeed do things like:

10 OPEN1,12,2,"http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt"
20 get#1,a$
30 print A$;
40 GOTO20

But we are missing characters as BASIC is processing each byte and
displaying it.

What is the 1541 doing to slow down enough to be able to send a single byte
exactly when asked?
