The nop isn't really a good test case, as it doesn't contain any smarts
in terms of executing a link fast. So it doesn't say a whole lot outside
of "we could make nop links faster", which is also kind of pointless.

"Normal" commands will work better. Where the link is really a win is if
the first request needs to go async to complete. For that case, the
next link can execute directly from that context. This saves an async
punt for the common case.
