That's interesting because the official documentation says:

"It is recommended to have val(buffer) >= max(val(sndbuf),val(recbuf)) to
avoid performance issues because of unnecessary copying."


Maybe the documentation is wrong because that doesn't make much sense;
sndbuf and recbuf are sent to the kernel and are supposed to be bigger than
the user's buffer.
