I also just noticed that NSD select()s on the ability to write() for every
TCP reply.  In the common case, this is unnecessary and will lead to
slightly increased CPU utilization and reply latency versus optimistically
write()ing and falling back to select() if necessary.  Was this optimization
considered and deemed unnecessarily complex?
