Re: Why does backend send buffer size hardcoded at 8KB?

Yeah.  The existing commentary about that is basically justifying 8K
as being large enough to avoid performance issues; if somebody can
show that that's not true, I wouldn't have any hesitation about
kicking it up.

(Might be worth malloc'ing it rather than having it as part of the
static process image if we do so, but that's a trivial change.)
