If you use bundling, the bundler thread writes the bytes to the socket, not
the caller's thread. TCP also uses a special sender thread for each
connection, if use_sender_queues=true (the default).

Still, FRAG2 needs the actual bytes of the message, and that's a long time
before the message gets passed to the bundler thread.
