Description

Moving the service handler goroutine forking into the transport (from `server.go`) would allow other reads to proceed without blocking on the tap/stats handlers.

Research direction

Start in server.go and trace how the transport invokes the service handler, Stats handler, and InTapHandle during the critical read path. The change is complete when handler goroutine forking occurs in the transport and other reads no longer block on tap or stats handlers.
