If turnaround time is slow, then perhaps even better would be to
send the date information while the user reading previously sent
information.

At first, the program could update menus that the user is known to
use frequently.  Once it has all these, then it can start trying
to predict what new menus might be needed.  For example, if you
are at a particular location ( I don't know the AO terminology,
since I've never used AO ), while you are reading the information
there, it could be sending the menus for all locations that are
linked to that location.
