It isn't really faster. It just starts responding faster. The execution
time is identical.

Minivend builds a page and accumulates responses in a buffer. If you
don't use the send=1 attribute in a tag, it will accumulate the entire
page and send it all at once. If you use [mvasp] or cause MV to send
the response with send=1 in a Minivend tag, then it will start the
response before the entire page is run.

You need to send the response of the previous part by specifying
the send=1 attribute. Then it will come out in the right order.
