I think you misunderstood the purpose of the test. The tests I did
won't show any significant change from the extra OPTIONS request (I
could have just did no and yes but I did auto for completeness)
because the latency is so low (<1ms) and as you point out the
spillbuff doesn't matter for OPTIONS. Greg is concerned that people
may set the tristate to no and then eat performance loses from not
using chunking when they could be. So the point here is to show what
that impact would be, which based on the tests I did is minimal.
