Delay when sending events with SocketIOClient

[kleinph]

We expierience a delay in sending Socket.IO-Events maybe in the TCP-Stack implementation. The problem is that the events which we send every 20ms are buffered and sent every 150-200ms all at once.
After short research maybe the Nagle Algorithm is causing this problem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagle%27s_algorithm).
Is there an option to set the TCP_NODELAY flag or could you build in one?
In java it is set by Socket.setNoDelay(true).
