Wow - that's really weird! Makes me glad I made this value configurable! The only thing this setting does is to decide how much data the server should buffer up before it ships it off to the client. I never imagined that _lowering_ this size would speed up things! Please do tell if you find the cause of this behavior, and I'll do some investigating on my side too.
