Whoa!  I didn't do any actual tests for that, but I believe this could be
true.

The hideous plan was to write a buffering-client.c which would handle the
buffering of input/output data and I think would greatly help both Zlib
compression performance and SSL performance.   Currently I believe there is
a lot of one-byte reads/writes, and I think they should hurt performance
badly in those cases.

Actually, the buffering-client.c is one of the things that is missing after
the switch from buffer.c thing.


I'll take a look into it.  We need to gather actual statistics about how
the network is handled (probably writing stat-client.c).
