the write_http plugin will write as many "value lists" into a 4 kByte
buffer [*] as it can fit and will only then send the data to the server.
Therefore, simply comparing the number of packets being exchanges it not
a reasonable measure.
Can you please verify that data is *actuallY* lost? I don't see any
indication for this right now.

[*] The buffer size is currently fixed, but we can talk about making
that configurable if that's a problem.
