There are plenty of workloads which are not bulk data and where multiple
small buffers get sent at unknown intervals (which may be back to back).
Such connections have to have Nagle disabled because the Nagle delays
are 'horrid'.
Clearly lost packets can cause delays, but they are rare on local networks.
