TLDR: Burned by framework magic. Talk about side effects.

Ten layers (and probably buffers) traveled through until your data hits the wire. Layer x decides to change its IO model and your throughput takes a dive. It's exactly why there was a post recently about building an operating system just to run some network daemon.
