Are you using non-blocking IO? If so, you shouldn't try to write more than
about 12KB at a time (at least in Linux)...that seems to be the max
amount it will take in one call to write (to a socket).

If you use NON-Blocking IO it doesn't really matter because you will
never block on the socket. Of course, you have to buffer non-written
bytes in memory so you have to be careful about that...
