No, don't "think", debug, do know exactly where you have your problem, 
because it is not lwIP, it is you, and you are the only one who can 
solve it.

2096 x 10 = 20960 bits/115200 bps = 182ms
Yes, you should have a pulsing output assuming your TCP data has no 
problems in arrival and gets there on time. Have you (for example) moved 
a pin to know when your app runs and what it does ?

Either you are not freeing memory correctly, or you are not assigning 
priorities and run time correctly in your OS, or your port is broken or 
your driver is broken (leaky).

Do yourself some favors and
- Study X.10 (the guys at ITU-T solved the serial packetization issue 
for you some decades ago)
- Check your port and driver by running a known to work application: the 
examples.
- Post the section of your code that interfaces with lwIP. Not my case, 
but you sure will find someone versed in socket API if you label your 
message with the correct subject.
- Give details on your OS configuration for your particular app. Again, 
not my case, but there are some RTOS users lurking here, do use the 
"subject" field wisely.
