Part of this can be nagling and general turnaround time. Tx.commit is
synchronous, unfortunately.

How close to exactly 20 msgs/sec was it? If it was startlingly close, we
could be seeing some kind of nagling-like delay being introduced by the
TCP stack: 20 msgs/sec is 50 ms/msg. Does that seem like a familiar
delay-constant to anyone?
