Just to be clear, this was basically the reasoning for why Part 5 of Assignment 1 did not have as much speedup as we were expecting, right? And organizing computation to request data less often would have been one of the ways we could increase speedup.

Are there any other ways to increase speedup?

I agree that bandwidth is why we didn't have as much speedup as expected on part 5. There was additional discussion on part 5 on Piazza, here.

So this seems like it could be better in some cases if we request large amount once then request small amount several times. What would be deciding the boundary between the amount of data requested the frequency of request?
