 Probably it is interact between delayed ack and Nagle's algorithm.
 
 They shouldn't be used together:

 So application which may be affected by this problem should disable
 Nagle's algorithm for via socket option TCP_NODELAY.
 
 As I can see current postfix uses setsockopt TCP_NODELAY so consider
 to upgrade postfix to 2.4.7 or 2.5.1 first.
 Postifx 2.2.8 is too old.
