Reverts #200, which was a revert of a performance PR.
I tried implementing the change that I was intending to make, and it just doesn't work well.
A simple change runs the risk of blowing up memory in certain situations, so I had intended to make it configurable. But as a low-level library, libhoney-go has a well-trodden configuration path and doesn't really have a configuration model that allows for a transparent change. It would have needed to read the environment from within the libhoney Init() method and that's not really a good design. Otherwise we'd have to make all the callers of libhoney set it explicitly.
My intent was a simpler solution, but this is the simpler solution, it turns out. Oh well.
