"socket-flags TCP_NODELAY"

that would need to go into both(!) config files - it changes the way the
operating system handles write() calls into a socket, that is, whether
the OS waits for "more data" to eventually generate a full sized packet,
or whether it will send the data immediately (generating a small packet).

(This is a fundamental problem with TCP - the stacks are optimized for
certain patterns, either "bulk data, make full size packets" or 
"interactive traffic, send single bytes of keystrokes, where a few ms
delay don't hurt", but not for VPN-like traffic)
