Hang with inline methods and large files?

Brian is reporting that Emacs and/or Tramp hangs when saving (not
loading) large files via an inline method.  I'm wondering whether
maybe process-send-region has problems for large files, depending on
the OS?

Brian connects via the sm method to an HP-UX machine, I'm not sure but
guess that the local system is also HP-UX.

In tramp-handle-write-region, process-send-region is used to send the
whole base64 encoded file over the wire.  Maybe some of the processes
in the middle don't like that.

What do you think?  Has anybody got any experience with this?

Should I send the region in smaller chunks with some delay in between
the chunks?  Or is there another method?  Or is it just a bug on HP-UX
or in HP-UX?
