I believe the current limit for slow-start are not adapted to the current Internet anymore. According to my own observations, the first 30Ko of my pages seem to be transfered faster then the next 30ko. It is not until much more is sent that the average throughput eventually get up to what it was during the first 30ko. This is definitely weird. Note: I am using Ubuntu on EC2 hosted VMs. As a result, for as much as I can, I try to keep the size of my content below 30ko, using multiple concurrent HTTP requests. I believe this is related to "slow-start" being pessimistic. Unfortunately, "slow-start" is not configurable on Linux and I don't feel confident enough to go with some kernel level patch... Any clue?
