For the gigantic $INBOX/all.mbox.gz response, this seems to slightly
improve speeds from roughly 290K/s to roughly 330K/s when fetching
out of a ~750MB aggressively-packed inbox.

Eric Wong (4):
      http: always yield on getline/body
      evcleanup: micro-optimize asap function
      mbox: reduce small packets for gzipped mboxes
      http: cork chunked responses for small savings

We want to maximize fairness for large responses which may
download the entire mbox.

Instead of relying on a timer with immediate callback,
arm a pipe to watch for writability, ensuring the callback
always fires.

We want to avoid sending 10 or 20-byte gzip headers as
separate TCP packets to reduce syscalls and avoid wasting
bandwidth.

This only affects Linux users with MSG_MORE support.

We can avoid extra TCP overhead for sub-optimal chunk sizes
by using MSG_MORE even with chunk trailers under Linux.

This breaks real-time apps which require <= 200ms latency for
streaming small packets (e.g. implementing "tail -F"), but the
public-inbox WWW code does not (and will never) do such things.
