Bug description:  FastCGI is incredibly slow due to TCP ack delay

Description:
------------
The PHP side of a socket-based FastCGI communication is unbuffered since
PHP 5.1.4 (maybe earlier). 

write/write/read cycles have a huge performance impact, on the latest
Linux kernel the FastCGI SAPI is actually slower than executing a CGI for
each request!

The actual problem is caused by the two unbuffered write() operations,
which run into a delayed ack and therefore cause a latency of 40000us on
FC10 and 500ms(!) on FreeBSD.

As an immediate fix I suggest to switch on NDELAY for the PHP FastCGI
socket communication. I can provide a patch if you want me to.
