Which makes it *not* a "gimmick.  It is an optimization for a common
use-case.

I suspect that it isn't a "boost", it is a constraint that applies to

constraint keeps bandwidth available for shorter transfers [which
constitute the majority of conversations].  There really is not any way
to "boost" Internet traffic.
