the TCP socket for frontend/backend communication could also do with this.

without this, any frontend's commands to the backend are automatically 
delayed 100msec as typically those aren't a full TCP segment worth.

if this uncovers any race-conditions then those need to be fixed - one 
shouldn't rely on nagling to mask a race.


i'll open a ticket & patch for these if folks would like ..
pretty easy 100msec shaving of time!

cheers,
