[ixp1200] memory unit question

not sure if I've read the answer to this anywhere, but I think if I had I
would remember. I've been assuming that a single memory unit can service
multiple requests in parallel, e.g.

sdram[read, $blah, blah, 0, 1]
sdram[write, $blahh, blahh, 1, 1], sig_done
; ...
ctx_arb[sdram]

those two commands will take closer to the time it takes one command to
complete than the time it takes a two commands to complete serially,
right? I would hope thats the case, but I don't know if I've ever seen
that explicitely confirmed or repudiated.

thanks,
Najati
