Please try 1.1.x. There is one known problem in 1.0.x which
causes it to allocate about 2 pointers per buffer sent. This is
known to be noticeable in long-running response case.

The problem was fixed in 1.1.4, but unfortunately it's impossible
to merge the fix into 1.0.x due to required API change.
