Eek. I just realised something - it would probably speed things up
considerably if in comm_write() commHandleWrite() was called to try
and write data to the socket. Chances are it can .. or at least write
some of the pending data. BUT I have this niggling feeling in the back
of my head somewhere that if I call commHandleWrite() during comm_write()
and the write completes/CWCB gets called and data is freed before
comm_write() completes, some code could possibly become very very confused.

Hrm, it was a fun idea.
