The big change between 1.0 and 1.1 is persistent connections. 1.1 is
designed to default to persistent connections, giving faster response and
more efficient use of bandwidth.

But lots of things can provoke internet explorer into not using persistent
connections, into opening a new connection for every little thumbnail. This
drastically slows down the conversation between the browser and the server.

How does squid effect persistence of connections? What kind of things
provoke IE into using a storm of new connections, rather than continually
reusing old connections?

Does squid provoke IE into generating a storm of new connections? If not,
why not? If it does, it must slow down IE dreadfully.
