Thanks for the correction, I misread the output of cURL.
I'll put this on my TODO list, but close to the bottom ;-).

From a user's perspective re-using the connection versus
pipelining means two extra round-trip times per request plus
having to wait for the output of the previous request before
the next one is issued. At least that's what I make out of it.

I think Alex needs to decide, if this is tolerable in his
particular application.
