Actually, in general, Stac AND V.42bis has lower latency and higher data
flow than V.42bis alone - but not as high as Stac alone. (Adding in the
V.42bis slows things down.) Basically because most CPUs are far faster
at doing the compression than the modems, and you also avoid a serial
port bottleneck.
