Ok, i've tracked down the problem. The same effect occurs
on a perl only implementation. The actual delay of 40ms seemed to be
induced by nagles algorithm for tcp. Setting the socket option
TCP_NODELAY on fixed the problem for the perl only implementation.

So, I changed this to a feature request for setting
the socket option TCP_NODELAY.
