I don't think this is relevant (while it surely is for SSL_write,
where it directly influences network data flow). The TCP
implementation doesn't have much to do for recv(); but if we try to
recv() more data than we actually need, we have to maintain large
buffers and either end up copying around data more often than
necessary or need more complicated data structures to handle the data
in place.
