Subject: [PATCH] Issue 4315: performance search rate: nagle triggers high rate
 of setsocketopt (#4437)

Bug description:
	When a socket is set with NO_DELAY=0 (nagle), written pdu are buffered
	until buffer is full or tcp_cork is set. This reduce network traffic when
        the application writes partial pdu.
        DS write complete pdu (results/entries/..) so it gives low benefit for DS.
	In addition nagle being 'on' by default, DS sets/unset socket tcp_cork to send
	immediately results/entries at each operation. This is an overhead of syscalls.

Fix description:
	Disable nagle by default
