Stas,
I am printing 4k of data for each push ..
# this to flush buffer of front end proxy-server.
my $new_line = "\n" x 4096;
print $new_line;
(make sure gzip filter if off ...)

I am sure there are some other more efficient solutions which I don't know,
but would like to know.

As pointed out by Niraj Sheth in the private reply I had a problem with
front-end buffering. Accessing the back-end server directly solves the
problem.
Which leads to a question, on how to make the real flush. Currently
rflush and ($|=1) are quite useless if there is a buffering process at the
front end side.
Thanks.
