[bradfitz]

ton of little Writes on a ResponseWriter...

cool in both chunked and non-chunked cases?

tests?

docs saying small writes are okay?

Comment 1:

Yeah, buffering currently happens after chunking, meaning small writes get quite bloated
by chunk headers.

Comment 7:

Related, and probably in the same CL:
If the total output from the Handler is less than the bufio Writer size (~4KB), but the
Handler never set a Content-Length, add the Content-Length.  And bonus: write the
headers + small content all out together, corking before & uncorking after.  I suspect
we're sending way too many packets right now for small responses.
