Sorry to my less technical readers, but this sucks and I need help. I've got a Windows NT application that converses with a server. During low traffic situations everything's fine, but when I'm sending a lot of data from the client to the server the select() call is taking a minimum of 200 ms. That's 1/5th of a second. In the particular case that this is happening that means that the NT version of this code runs orders of magnitude slower than the Unix version, all because of the client, not the compute bound server. I've tried everything I can think of to disable the Nagle queueing, and I can't find any other timeouts that should be pertinent. Anyone out there who knows how to fix this send e-mail to me at danlyke at pixar.com, please!
