Ha! It's a Very Technical Term, just like API or throughput, and the 
readers are expecting a certain precise treatment of it. Nobody writes 
"application-programmer interface" mre than once in a document; nobody 
writes "through-put" or some lengthy definition of it. Use "roundtrip" 
with no hyphen, use it unabashedly, and defend it against Chicago 
editors who demand it be changed.
