Stop this insane crap, and fix JAVA already. Stop doing this garbage in the kernel to work around it. Each suggestion I'm seeing gets worse and worse. You cannot disable Nagle via sockopt(), do small writes, and expect good performance. That is the end of the story. I'm really pissed off that this horrible workaround binge for Java continues, it's in the worst taste possible, it's wrong, and I'm never going to accept such a horrible patch. You're usually much better about these kinds of things Stephen, please stop this.
