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.

As soon as you have a page with more than two or three embedded images.

It doesn't matter -- Polipo will pipeline even if the browser doesn't.

That's what Polipo does by default if the client only speaks /1.0.

Yes.

Is Google Talk layered over HTTP?  Really?
