Setting net.inet.tcp.minmssoverload to 4000 fixed my problem(s).

It performs connection pooling on the application layer, i.e. it
opens several connections and pools them to avoid reopening them. As
far as I understand each Oracle connection is associated with a TCP
connection - there is no pooling on the TCP level.

While I have read your commit message thoroughly I am not sure I
have understood the consequences of the new mechanism. Will the
exchange of many small packets trigger a connection drop?
