I just want to tell you that my answer to you is on my todo. Due to
personal problems in my family, it might take some days until I'm able
to do. Sorry.

I plan to provide a detailed analysis what happens in Tramp when running
an asynchronous process. Based on this, we could discuss
improvements. With commit 4c3c175a63823d851c7e9326f4f70c81b9c0110e I've
done already a first step this direction.

Another vague idea is to change make-process to a kind of
"connection-less", and keep start-process as-it-is. Let's see how far we
go.

Best regards, Michael.
