Asynchronous protocol/API allowing more than one outstanding calls in
parallel. That doesn't reduce the number of roundtrips but reduces
overall latency.

The number of roundtips can be reduced as well.

Also, there are places where the exact data length is not known and
the whole buffer is transmitted back to client (isc_stmt_info for
example). The reason is absence of result length output argument in
the API.
