OS/Compiler notes: 

In the current implementation sent chunks in readData() have an unpredictable size.

This can be quite un-handy if your slave :
a) is slow 
b) uses a different chunk size

I had both cases with a slave communicating with a serial device:
- it has 8 Kb/sec throughput but konqui send 32 to 64 kb chunks => progress bar is updated every 4 or 8 seconds !
- I had to add some setRawData() to split those large chunks into 4Kb chunks which is not very clean

So wouldn't it be possible to add an extra parameter to readData() for instance:
readData( QByteArray & data int length=-1 )?

Or any other way to emit a recommendation for chunk sizes ?
