I should have mentioned that in my original post... sendall() doesn't work
for non-blocking sockets. :(

The good news is that Kjetil Jacobsen came up with the perfect solution for
send().

  send_buffer = buffer(self.data, self.offset)
  sent = self.socket.send(send_buffer)
  self.buffer_offset += sent

No copying, and all writes are as big as the socket buffer can hold. Cost of
allocating a buffer object should be very minor in the grand scheme of
things.

2*total_recv_size memory consumption is 1*total_recv_size too many. :)

Working on this one...
