Consider full motion video, whenever there's a jumpcut, nearly every pixel changes. There's no way to compress that data down without loss of fidelity. I think the author is proposing a non-causal protocol, where the data isn't necessarily sent in order. In FMV, perhaps the preceding scene can be sent with less than the full bandwidth of the cable. The computer can send the display many of the commands to generate future frames in advance, tagged with when they should be executed. Now that there is some buffering, there is more time to send the next full refresh. At least, that's the intention I got from reading the piece.
