It's actually on par with Firefox 3 - running six parallel downloads per url. Safari and Opera should do slightly better running 8 concurrently. But either way it's far better than the original HTTP specification of 2 (IEv6 and v7). IEv8 also promises to no longer stall for the download of <link>'s and <script>'s. Should provide a marked improvement. mike foskett http://websemantics.co.uk/ -----Original Message----- From: li...@webstandardsgroup.org [mailto:li...@webstandardsgroup.org] On Behalf Of tee Sent: 26 March 2009 15:40 To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] IE8 compatibility mode On Mar 26, 2009, at 7:58 AM, tee wrote: > > > Strange that Microsoft is a bit shy with the new release because I > have not been prompted to update the browser each time I turned on > the PC.
