Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it not that what is supposed to be solved by the concept of a "persistent connection" as per HTTP1.1 ? Murray writes: While it is true HTTP1.1 saves some time by not needing to continually reestablish connections, it remains true that UAs by default only have 5 or so connections open at a time. Unless I am mistaken, even with HTTP1.1 a quantity of CSI files (images, objects, js includes, html includes) requires the time of multiple round trips. Unless my math is weak, a page with 30 or so CSI files (not that unrealistic) would take a minimum time of seven round trips (One for the html file itself, and 30/5 = 6 for the CSI files.) Imagine if it were only one. Jan Roland Eriksson [mailto:jrexon@newsguy.com] wrote: Why do we need to reinvent the wheel ? Murray writes: Because it is square! It causes too much unrequired friction. --Murray
