Well, that suggests to me that we don't quite yet understand their
origin ;-).
So is it the same connection over and over again that creates the
EAGAINs, at a rapid rate (each time the event loop goes around), or is
it different connections and rarely the same one repeatedly?

I'm going to add my codes to capture the client IP(or domain) and the request's byte stream.

From the capture, I can tell in more detail.
