When a "page" is multiple files (text plus images), early NetScape
opened up to 4 connections to try to load files in parallel. On
dial-up this gives a little more speed; it can be significant on
fast wires. Later browsers may have a setting (albeit buried deep)
to change this number. In a few old situations, 2 or even 1 might
cause less congestion in a fragile TCP stack. On good machinery, 10
or more might shave milliSeconds for total page-load time.
