This is not true. This depends on RTT and your qdisc parameters.

Whole point of TSO autosizing is to make all this stuff automatic.

Here is the tcpdump output for a 10ms RTT, which is quite standard.

You can see 5 packets are sent, with a delay of more than 1 ms.

You also can tune /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_min_tso_segs from 2 to 1 if you
really want...

No kernel patches needed...
