Hi Patrick,

I'm using a boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor now to accept the
connections.  The problem is once the connections are accepted and I
start waiting for data on them, several large buffers are allocated
for each connection.

I was hoping somebody might have a suggestion for working around this,
or could let me know if they can think of any problems with making the
various buffers smaller.

Thanks!
