+// When calling .end(buffer) right away, this triggers a "hot path"
+// optimization in http.js, to avoid an extra write call.
+//
+// However, the overhead of copying a large buffer is higher than
+// the overhead of an extra write() call, so the hot path was not
+// always as hot as it could be.
+//
+// Verify that our assumptions are valid.
