I have some problems with a socket connection. To read and write a
character from a socket takes about 1ms each. To write an integer takes
about 1ms, but to read an integer takes about 180ms.

My question is: Why does it take so long time to read an integer from a
socket?  Has it something to do with setting up the socket?

The processes communicates via a stream-socket connection between two
Sparcstations and the underlying protocol is TCP.

I don't know wery much about network programming so I would really
appreciate if somebody could give me a clue.
