Thanks for the concenr.

We are already doing this.

We are already doing this too.

Currently we are using one thread / connection; The thread that is
handling the query is doing all read/writes on it's own file descriptors.
How would what you suggest be better than this ?

Currently each thread is handling it's own send through write.
I don't know if this is better or not.
At least there is less communication overhead, compared to having a
dedicated thread that handles sending all the data

Do you have any examples of how to do this?

I didn't have any problems with your english :)
Thanks!
