You mean how many connections one single curl handle keeps open
simultaneously? That is configurable. CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS controls it. By
default, it is 5. I can't say that I can come up with many good reasons why
that would need to be changed.

No, but most servers close a persistent connection after 5 to 10 seconds, so
there's no point in having more connections than that.

Nope. But I'm open to suggestions for providing such a one.
