Are you sending all the lines in a single packet:
>>> sock.send('\n'.join(lines))
or sending them one at a time:
>>> for line in lines:
>>> sock.send(line + '\n')
? If the latter, you are probably experiencing "Nagle delays". Google
will furnish you with any number of explanations of what that means, but
in summary, one end of a TCP/IP connection should never send two
consecutive small packets without receiving a packet from the other end.
('Small' typically means less than about 1400 bytes.) Each time you do
that, you'll suffer an artificial delay introduced by TCP/IP itself.
