Which is used for traffic control. I do not see how this fits in this
discussion. The point of having the pool of already established
connections is purely to bypass the latency from connection
establishment.

As I sais there is two approaches in avoiding the connection
establishment latency:

a) Make sure connections stay persistent as much as possible, by
extending the code to support the newer constructs of HTTP/1.1.

b) Have a pool of pre-opened connections.

Alternative B is of limited use if alternative A is implemented, but
might still be useful.
