I don't really understand how this contraption works, but I love when people can find out how to tweak things to make them work perfectly. I am flying through the internet ever since I upgraded my settings, and sites that I normally goto are loading up much faster than I can remember. I wanted to thank you for this upgrade.

Some people will disagree with the change and some will even get upset claiming it hits the servers too hard and that its just not fair. The process alters the way that a client responds to a server by changing the pipelining configuration. HTTP pipelining is a technique in which multiple HTTP requests are written out to a single socket without waiting for the corresponding responses. The pipelining of requests results in a dramatic improvement in page loading times, especially over high latency connections (such as satellite Internet connections). Since it is usually possible to fit several HTTP requests in the same TCP packet, HTTP pipelining allows fewer TCP packets to be sent over the network, reducing network load. Your browser was set to pipeline 4 requests at once, we just upped that a little to improve your perceived performance. Make sense? Pretty cool huh? Yeah, isn’t that great?
