Even if the application is making 50 byte sends why aren't these getting coalesced once the socket's buffer is full? I understand that Nagle's algorithm will send the first couple packets "eagerly" but I would have expected that onced the transmit window is full they start getting coalesced since they are being buffered anyways.
Disabling Nagle's algorithm should be trading network usage for latency. But it shouldn't reduce throughput.
