Optimizes the write operations on Netty channels.

Flush operations are generally speaking expensive as these may trigger a syscall on the
transport level. Thus it is in most cases (where write latency can be traded with throughput) a
good idea to try to minimize flush operations as much as possible. This component allows writes
to be accumulated and flushed together for better performance.
