I have seen this issue on 7.0-RELEASE. It seems to be related to the nagle algorithm being enable by default on connections on the loop back interface. One application level work around is to set the TCP_NODELAY option on the socket so that the nagle algorithem is disabled. This bug affects users of php java bridge as newer release talk to a JVM over a tcp socket bound to localhost, and the typical packets passing back and forward are very small. It is also possible to reproduce this bug using PHP 5. I can attach test scripts if required.
