IIRC, someone wrote in recently saying that the sizes of SO_RCVBUF
and SO_SNDBUF can have huge effects on performance, and setting
them to 8192 (which used to be a good idea) can reduce performance.
I suggest removing them from the socket options and measuring the
performance at the defaults, then try modifying them and comparing
performance.
Also, TCP_NODELAY is the default, right? So maybe just comment
out the socket options parameter, restart the daemons, and check
to see if the problem goes away.

Nowadays, it's usually best to "leave things alone" (i.e., at the defaults).
It's important to not change things in a way that reduces performance.
