title: Is having too many multiple simultaneous AJAX connections bad?
body: <p>I am writing a rather large JavaScript based application and sometimes there are cases when it has even eight (8) AJAX requests going on at once. This is a problem in IE6, because it kills the rest of the requests, I know that, but this application is targeted for modern browsers, so, IE6 is not a problem.</p>
  
  <p>However, I have a feeling (have not done any actual profiling) that pooling requests could yield in better performance. Say, maximum of 4 requests at a time.</p>
  
  <p>So, my question is that is there any benefit to pool AJAX requests or is it okay to have multiple requests going on at the same time compared to having a pool where they are processed one after another?</p>
  
  <p>I realize that this might depend on the browser and Internet connection, but I am not sure about that.</p>
