Possible address:

  Every IO, be it from the server or from the CLS function is assigned
a "weight" value in the statement that generates the IO.

  During the execution of a CSl function all IO is buffered as it is
now.

  Upon compleation of the CSl function the IO from the server is added
to that buffer.

  Upon compleation of the CSl function and the server's processing,
the contents of the buffer are sorted by their weight values and
ouput.
