Description
Write coalescing was recently disabled in, https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p/pull/867, due to performance issues. We need to perform additional testing/profiling of write coalescing in yamux and mplex before reenabling them.
## Success Criteria
- [ ] Write coalescing in yamux is well tested and re-enabled, https://github.com/libp2p/go-yamux/issues/27
- [ ] Write coalescing in mplex is well tested and re-enabled, https://github.com/libp2p/go-mplex/issues/75

Research direction
Start by reviewing pull request 867 and the linked go-yamux issue 27 and go-mplex issue 75 to understand why write coalescing was disabled. Perform the additional testing and profiling requested for both transports; done means write coalescing is well tested and re-enabled in yamux and mplex.
