The number of simultaneous connections to use depends on:

- If the webserver can handle many connections.
- If the client computer is fast and/or has multiple CPUs.
- If the client has a fast internet connection.

- Considerations when increasing simultaneous connections:
  - Advantages:
    - Can lessen slowdown in case some pages respond slowly.
    - Can maximize usage of your internet connection bandwidth.
    - With less waiting, the CPU processor(s) can crunch more data.
  - Disadvantages:
    - With more connections, the overhead of managing them increases.
