However the application is very time critical and must finish sending block of XML as quickly as possible.

Did you already set the TCP_NODELAY socket option?

Thanks Ludolf.

Yes that is in the config, but I was wondering how long NODELAY is.

Enabling TCP_NODELAY should disable the Nagle algorithm completely, not just shorten the send delay.

If TCP_NODELAY is enabled for stunnel is already, are you sure, your application doesn't use Nagle?

I might be worrying about nothing, but I can't find it documented.

Are you actually having a timing problem, or are you merely afraid of one? In doubt, you might check the timing with e.g. wireshark.
