Not quite, it will hide your latency. Not necessarily important if you're on a good Internet connection, extremely noticeable if you're over a high-latency link such as satellite, 3G, or tor. > However, in real-life, does this pipelining happen often ?

It doesn't matter -- Polipo will pipeline even if the browser doesn't. > Else, is it possible to force Polipo into pipelining everything and > convert it back to HTTP 1.0 for the client? That's what Polipo does by default if the client only speaks /1.0. > Another question : can several clients be pipelined through the same > connexion?

It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
