If you need to set the TCP_NODELAY, that suggests an error in the networking
code.  TCP_NODELAY should only be used in certain situations such as
implementation of a telnet client.  For general network applications, it should
never be used...all it serves to do is fragment bandwidth and annoy sysadmins.

If large queries are the source of this, it is because there is so much data
being sent in one direction without ever receiving anything going in the other
direction.

Just my two cents worth.
