I don't know what would cause that. A skelta-mode checkout uses a large
number of small requests while a bulk-mode checkout uses a small number
of large requests. Is there an HTTP proxy between the client and
server?

serf is a client-side library. There is no way a serf bug can affect a
web browser (I'm guessing you have not written your own web browser that
uses serf :) You must be seeing some other problem.
