I had a similar symptom once, which turned out to be fixed by having
both ends of the TCP connection set TCP_NODELAY.  (Just one end might
have been enough, but, since I was in there anyway, I did both.)  This
case doesn't sound quite similar enough for that to be it here, but I
could have missed something.
