Overall system throughput is what I'm aiming at - large payloads for
thousands of users concurrently (and spread worldwide) are a focus for me -
remember the timing info I was positing (sometime inaccurately I grant you)
some months ago. Latency increasing (before a single GET starts streaming)
isn't a worry for me.

I think DAV's enhancements to HTTP came for v1.1 not 2.0.
