The current implementation forwards all read requests to the operating
system through the socket causing excessive system calls. The effect is
magnified when the underlying Socket is wrapped around a TLS
implementation.
This commit changes the underlying socket to be read-buffered by default
with a buffer size of 16K, following the implementation of the official
client.
