I reported this in May 2006.  Found in nsd-3.0.6/doc/TODO:

- From Aaron Hopkins: write tcp length and tcp data in one write operation,
   instead of multiple calls to write. Avoids Nagle algo delay in this case.
   preallocate 2 bytes in front of buffer to put them into.

There are a few other performance-related things I reported at the same time
still in the TODO that you might be interested in.
