If you look at SendStr source code, you'll see that it's implementation is
quite trivial:
function TCustomWSocket.SendStr(const Str : String) : Integer;
begin
if Length(Str) > 0 then
Result := Send(@Str[1], Length(Str))
else
Result := 0;
end;
Removing SendStr will not drastically change performance.
Removing the conversion to string will enhance performance, or if you keep
strings (which is a good idea in my opinion), pay attention to avoid copying
data from here to there. You may also write more complex code which would
avoir using strings which are inherently slow because they are dynamic
objects. You may thing of allocation a buffer just one time and keep that
buffer, using Send to send part of the buffer.
Using ReceiveStr is quite slow because it involve copying data one more
time. You may can Receive to receive data directly in the variable where you
will process it.
