@darius Could be that it was the implementations that were slow, or that the protocol's default configurations were not so efficient. But as an avid BBSer, I can personally attest that protocols like Punter or YMODEM were always *much* faster on my 1980s machines.

@darius I wouldn't call Kermit "efficient"! It was certainly versatile and portable, but was among the slowest protocols commonly available on 8-bit micros of the 1980s.
