You could send them in batches below the keepalive limit, but that's
not what serf does. serf will write up to the discovered keep-alive
limit or until we get EAGAIN then write up to keep-alive limit when
the socket becomes writeable again.

Yes, that's the strategy that serf is taking. Neon can't or rather it
used to, but the performance was abysmal since neon couldn't do async
or pipelining. The only thing neon could do efficiently was just
issue one large REPORT request. -- justin
