You can set net.inet.tcp.minmssoverload to a higher value than the
default of 1,000.  I suggest trying with 2,000 as next step and see
if it still overloads.

Appearently my default of 1,000 pps is fine for normal use but too
low for some edge cases.

Could you check the MySQL source code if it has a setsockopt() setting
the TCP_NODELAY option?  That would help to explain a lot.
