I have LOWERED my settings to match your. I was pipelining up to 16 
concurrent requests. In general I work on a 4Mbps+ uplink.

I have also upgraded my Firefox 1.5.1 to latest beta. I have a filling 
that at least one of the problems is actually Firefox's. It is now 
working better. I have retested with 32 concurrent pipelining requests 
and it seems to be work better as well. However this is not a complete 
test and it could be a coincidence.

Thanks.

I'll install JDK environment on my notebook. Perhaps I can find some 
spare time as well. Unfortunately due to my lack of skills and knowledge 
of Java this won't be very productive.
