Will making the 8k buffer bigger solve this problem?

I will check that once the end of a request has been detected from the
backend, this backend connection is closed before attempting to send the
last chunk to the frontend. This should have the effect that with a
large enough buffer, the backend will not have to wait around while a
slow frontend munches the bytes.

But a single thread of a mod_perl backend will use less resources if it
need only stick around for 100ms, than it will if it has to stick around
for a minute.
