But do you have any targets where reading individual words is slow?

I don't know about any such targets first-hand, but I've heard that
JTAG reading could be exceedingly slow.

Another possible alternative is to make this a run-time parameter:
'maintenance set string-read-size 64' or some such. Default to 64 and
let JTAG people dial it down if it ever becomes a problem for them?

Thanks for your comments.
