I will better repeat, that I am no port guru, but maybe I just understand
something wrongly?:

.. and that is imo what Gariele means - what does "polling" mean? Set-up of
connection, sending data, closing the connection? It causes some tcp overhead
imo, as establishing/closing connections each time means more packets on network

So, you close and establish connection three times. Wouldn't it be possible to
keep first connection opened whole the time, and just perform inserts/reads on
the port?
