If you give the TigerBeetle client a single transfer, it sends it off immediately to the cluster. There's no delay. No Nagle!

But if your application then creates another transfer against the client, and another, while the first request is inflight, then the client will autobatch under the hood and send these off as a batch when the first request returns.

You get this sweetspot then between latency and throughput. And your latency is not spiking as your load increases, since your throughput is now able to keep up.
