Do you know how Squid manages to flush the output buffer automatically?
As long as it's on the standard TCP stack, I think it's very hard...
Is it something todo with "non-blocking IO"?  I'm not very familiar

This is a very interesting result. Do you have any published paper on
your results? If you have let me know. Thank you very much.
