Title: Tests to see how connection pooling affects performance.

A quick addition to the tests to simulate connection pooling on the client side. The pooling efficiency is already saturated by 10 connections, and it looks like the source of the perf issue is mostly elsewhere.

I'm suspecting its the way the message is concatenated first and *then* a null character is searched for. This was done this way to make small messages high performance, but I think it's at the expense of the performance of large messages as it re-checks the same blocks of data over and over again for nulls that can't possibly exist (on the off chance that a single buffer had more than one null, as is possible with small messages). I'll think about a way to check for null characters without rechecking previous buffer pieces over and over again.

Anyways, here's the results of the connection pooling: a perf gain of about 33%
