It seems likely, from your description, that 1448 is the number of
bytes the server is sending in one transaction. If the server isn't
flushing it's stream, it is probably the number of data bytes in one
network packet, after whatever headers there are, although it could
possibly be the number of bytes the server sends in the time it takes
for your code to process one batch of data (about 3 seconds,
apparently)
