I've mostly fixed this for 2.0.6 (I just fixed it a few minutes
ago). It was a bug in the setting of the default socket options.

To get all the speed of 1.9.18 we need the raw writes back into
clientgen.c but at least with the socket options fixed the speed is
now reasonable.

raw writes are really ugly, but they give the best speed with Win9X
because it negotiates a puny buffer size (just 2920 bytes).
