What is the problem with that ? HTTP/FTP/SMTP/QUOTE/etc.
all use a AosIO Writer on a TCP sonnection. (Did you maybe miss
the AosIO.Writer.Update ?

The AosIO.Writer.String only calls AosIO.Writer.Char for each
character, not Send. This then only calls the Send delegate if its buffer is
full. So
sending (more than one) string/integer/etc. is probably faster via
the AosIO.Writer since the number of network packets is reduced,
compared to calling AosTCP.Connection.Send manually. The overhead
of adding thousands of Char to the buffer is minimal compared to wasting one
single network packet (at least for computers with more than very few MHz)
