+libnodelay - LD_PRELOAD library to disable Nagle's algorithm
+============================================================
+
+If you're tired of digging through a mess of code and confusing/obscure
+configuration options, you should LD_PRELOAD this library instead.
+
+Disabling Nagle's algorithm can result in a performance improvement
+for latency-sensitive applications that use TCP.
+
+More about Nagle's algorithm is here:
