Comment 3 for bug 817656

Okay, if you uncomment line 26 in /etc/couchdb/default.ini:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wibblymat/ubuntu/oneiric/couchdb/update-to-1.1.0/view/head:/etc/couchdb/default.ini.tpl.in#L26

socket_options = [{recbuf, 262144}, {sndbuf, 262144}, {nodelay, true}]

Then the performance is back up to what is was in 1.0.1. I guess CouchDB was perhaps running with nodelay by default before, and now it isn't? Anyway, gory benchmark details running with that line uncommented:
