John and Don,

Yep, the best option would be for the app to use TCP_NODELAY when opening its 
socket... but alas Cyrus doesn;t do this, at least not in the CentOS 5.x 
package I have. There are lots of threads about this and dev comments that 
Cyrus should do this from several years back... but it apparently didn;t get 
in (which really suprises me that no one has fixed this in the last 10 years 
since I last used Cyrus).

I may try pulling the source or package from a later CentOS version, but Cyrus 
is such a pain in the butt to get running in the first place... I didn;t want 
to end up breaking everything Ive got working.
