Best, Adam
Ok, confirmed -- this call blocks for 10 seconds when no data is
available on the socket. I think that's the behavior we're looking
for: detect stale connections, but let slow connections keep working.
Not sure what the greater performance implications of switching this
configuration might be, though (the chunks of data we'd be dealing
with would be much smaller). Best,
