Maximizing parallel downloads using sub-domains
 

Hello,

I have been reading about using sub-domains to maximize parallel downloads and it looks like a good solution.

There are some tests where we can get a 40% improvement just by using sub-domain for splitting requests, as HTTP/1.1 specs suggest only 2 simultaneous requests per domain.

Say ... domain.com (main site) + images.domain.com (for images/) and static.domain.com (clientscript/ - js and css).

What do you think?
