I've provided two new dumps of the complete connection lifetime between
2.4.0 and 2.2.16. Both logs show the same client connecting to identical
machines, receiving the same data and then disconnecting.

2.2.16 handles the entire process in under 5 seconds while 2.4.0 takes
over 2 minutes.

Also note that the 2.4.0 connection did not get shut down correctly and
had to send an RST... though this is probably due to the client side
closing down the connection while there was still data on it. Both
machines were under approximately the same load.

It looks to me like there is an artificial delay in 2.4.0 which is
slowing down the traffic to unbearable levels.
