nginx doesn't process data from fastcgi app untill buffer filled or 
connection closed by app (as required per spec without 
FCGI_KEEP_CONN flag set).

I've posted some patches which change things as part of keepalive 
with backends work, but most likely you don't want to rely on 
them.  You may want to make your app actually fastcgi complaint 
instead.
