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
