The wire-protocol is latency-bound, not bandwidth-constrained. So disable the Nagle algorithm to prevent large delays from hurting our performance too much. NOTE: Considering that we are implementing a request-reply protocol it might be possible to improve performance without disabling the Nagle algorithm. E.g. by taking control over buffering ourselves instead of leaving it up to the iostream class.

This about divides my runtime in half.
