I would not think so. Rabbit should handle many concurrent connections 
and unless you have changed your firefox config you are only using 4.
Check "about:config" and 
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy, I have mine set to 8 
at the moment. Also make sure that you have proxy.keep-alive and proxy 
pipelining set to true.

Rabbit does not yet handle client side pipelining but I plan on handling 
that soon.

Ill check how rabbit handle them and see what we can do.

Ok, then it is simple. Ill see what I can do. But please note that my 
immediate action is only to put it in the TODO-file (spare time project!).
