I don't see how: eventually, you'd need to cons Lisp objects from the
stuff received from the wire, this way or another.

In any case, if the conclusion is that the problem is GC (or maybe
something related, like reallocating the buffer into which we
accumulate the received stuff), we can probably find an easy enough
solution.  But I'm not sure yet this is the problem.
