Aha, so timer_resolution will "fix" it on Linux? (Our production boxes are
Linux, my current testing was OSX). On OSX it looked like timer-resolution
never ran while the gzipping was happening, I just assumed it would be
similar cross-platform (though I did test I could replicate the original issue
on both).

So where could/would the max chunk limit sit? At the socket-write end of
the process?

Thanks,
