disabling NAGLE is possible using a TCP option and setsockopt(), but it
won't work, and NAGLE is not the only reason why data may be queued.
actually, according to his description, this is NOT nagle, but simple
queuing data on the receiving side.
again, there is no trivial fix for his code. he must write it properly,
being ready to packetise the incoming data in his application, cause TCP
will never do that for him (at least not TCP is defined today).
