Hi,

After KeepAlive On, multiple requests will be handled
one at a time, or say "Sequentially". If there are 30
pages requested, could this "Sequential
Processing"(like a queuing process) slow down the
performance? On the other hand, without KeepAlive, 30
requests could be handled by 30 connections/threads
simultaneously, it could be faster. Am I right?  Can
someone shed some lights on the above situation?

The HTTP spec and standard browser design limits the number of
connections to (if I remember correctly) between 2 and 4. So you will
never see 30 simultaneous connections. That would overwhelm a
connection-per-thread server like apache. Instead you will see the
same 2 to 4 connections being repeatedly setup and torn down,
resulting in slower performance overall.
