Pipelining is no sweat for servers ...

Connections are a different story - too many can cause problems for servers, and thus MSIE by default limits the total number of connections to 2; is hard limited to around 10 max in most current versions of Windows.

To be clear, pipelined requests are serialized on the same connection and thus have minimal effect on servers; set maxrequests to whatever value one feels works fastest ... 4 to 8 I've read, in tech white papers, is ideal, but some say 30, etc is better.
