Are 100 and 6 are suggested or enforced values? What happens if the specified
value is out of the range? My suggestion: clamping.

[pastarmovj, 2011/07/01 18:52:44]

These are enforced values and are checked in the code too. But I think Will will
restate this documentation anyhow.

This documentation is actually pretty good. The one thing to mention is that
some web apps are known to consume many connections with hanging GETs, so
lowering below 32 may lead to browser networking hangs if too many such web apps
are open. Lower below the default at your own risk.

Done.
