Interesting.  Your DSL times for connection/request are actually  
longer than what I'm seeing. Maybe geography isn't so important.  
Measurements are good.  It's going to be interesting to see how this  
all pans out.   It''s definitely interesting that you doubled the  
throughput using a single connection.

This also looks like a good optimization for xmlrpclib.

Thanks for trying this.
