And I can tell you why.

If you change this:
        _sock_write(sock, buf, buf_len);
        _sock_write(sock, (char*)"\r\n", 2);

to that:
        _sock_write(sock, buf, buf_len); // buf already contains \r\n

it will work in at least 2-3 times faster.
I.e. writing to the socket with only ONE call should speed up it a lot.
