In Apache 2.X, send_http_header() is actually redundant.

The most time efficient way generally is to actually buffer output in
a Python list and then use:

  req.write(''.join(mylist))

Ie., write all data in one go.

This will probably use more memory, but less runtime overhead than
Apache doing the buffering.
