#258: [PATCH] client spins on write when window full

--------------------+--------------------
 I see CPU go to 100% on writes when the receiver is slow or slow to
 deliver window adjustments. When the window appears to be full, it
 seems a grave error to sleep on writability of a socket that is
 writable all the time.

 Suggesting this to reduce sender CPU load without reducing throughput:
