Randal,

While your question is a valid one to ask, your reply is disappointing, and IMHO, misplaced.

The fact that the OP knows what Nagle's Algorithm is, has sought and found a (less than satisfactory) solution in the Cookbook (which also describes a reason to disable it), makes me think the OP might have some idea as to "Why?".

I'm not trying to pick on you, I'm just pointing out that this is an example of what I'll call the Bunjee Reply, ala Dilbert. Sort of a That's a not-so-brilliant-question see-ya later kind of response. It makes me wonder if someone has posted the corollary to How (Not) To Ask A Question, namely, How (Not) to Answer a Question?

If I'm off base here, someone let me know.
