Hi,

I have a server(written in C++) that is continuously sending data through a socket(the server does some processing between sends). When I receive the data through a client written in R, the receive is slower than the send of the server even if I'm  just receiving at the client and not processing. I noticed this because the server sends records of the form
<r>x,y,z<r> with each send
and the client receives the record. I've set some maxlen and the client receives maxlen with something like
<r>x,y,z<r><r>a,b

why is the R receive slower even when the server is processing between sends?
