Efficiency of IO passing/Handeling large amounts of IO

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The efficiency of the io passing can be increased in a couple of ways:

Collect multiple lines before sending when there is lots of output.
Support transport over raw sockets instead of websockets for internal use.

We should also look into better buffering strategies to handle massive amounts 
of io and possibly figure out ways to spread the work of collecting output 
around to multiple masters.
