[xdebug-general] 1.3.2: Speed improvement by using TCP_NODELAY

Dear Derick,

during debugging of a Web Page with lots of (yet) undefined variables, a lot of xDebug Signal events
occurred, each on resulting in a transmission to my xDebug client. I've noticed a 100-300 ms delay
after each 'continue' command, before the next Signal arrived. That smelled like the Nagle Algorithm.

Therefore I've added these lines in xdebug_com.c in xdebug_create_socket immediately before the

        return sockfd

line:

         {
                 long optval = 1;
                 setsockopt (sockfd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, & optval, sizeof (optval));
         }

Now all outgoing traffic is send immediately and the Load Time for my Web Page decreased from 8
Seconds to 1 Second.

Hope that helps.
