Spool thread can be a replica of driver thread, it will do the same as
driver and then pass Sock to the conn thread. So making it C-based is
not that hard and still it will be fast and small.
Plus, upload statistics now will be handled in the spool thread, not
driver thread, so no overhead and slowdown.
So we read up to maxreradahead, then queue it into spooling thread and
spooling thread will give it to conn thread. Spooling thread will use
same Sock/Driver structures, actually Sock will not see any differences
between running in driver thread or spooling thread.
I can try to provide test of using spooling thread along with driver
thread today if i will have time.

Hm, does Tcl support asynchronous (non-blocking) IO for both network
sockets and local files? Tcl has 'fconfigure -blocking 0' of course,
but I don't know for sure whether that really does what you want for
this application. If Tcl DOES support it adequately, then all the
previous questions about how to do cross-platform asynchronous IO from
C vanish, which is a nice bonus.
Tcl does this properly by implementing non-blocking IO (O_NONBLOCK or
O_NDELAY)
and adding their own event-loop processing salt. This works for both files
and sockets.
The truble is: you need a fully loaded Tcl for that. But we do have it
anyways. If we restrict that across limited number of spooling threads,
the overhead might not be large. Normally I'd start with spoolthread-
per-cpu
but the infrastructure must be made so that it allows several spooling
threads to gain from multiple-cpu's in modern boxes.
