I'd personally start by not using Netty if you have the time to start from scratch :/

Netty is not the problem. Java NIO has that limitation. And performance isn't in any way bad, just that there's more to extract (I believe).

As I say, I'd be interested in numbers to back that up. It's certainly not a limitation I've noticed.
