It'd be fast, but still packet heavy.

We know the real issue now.

We should probably disable Nagel in the clients, too, or do explicit
flushes at certain points.

Actually, I already had flushes in my Perl client.... but it looks like
the PHP and Python clients could benefit from turning Nagel off (PHP), or
doing flushes (Python), based on their output methods.
