Well, now I am positive that Net::HTTPIO isn't the problem, since I
rewrote it from scratch using NaHi's http-access2 library.  To no avail.
It was slightly slower and suffered the same problem.

In addition, reverting back to Net::HTTP was overall worse as well.

Mmnnn, if only some kind soul would donate a new WEBrick that's got the
innards of lighttpd, coded as a cross-platform extension.
