Hey there, I've been wondering if the assumption of four asset hosts for the sake of speed improvements is still valid. Rails documentation about asset hosts:
Browsers typically open at most two simultaneous connections to a single > host, which means your assets often have to wait for other assets to finish > downloading. You can alleviate this by using a %d wildcard in the > asset_host. For example, “assets%d.example.com”. If that wildcard is > present Rails distributes asset requests among the corresponding four hosts > “assets0.example.com”, …, “assets3.example.com”. With this trick browsers > will open eight simultaneous connections rather than two According to this (http://www.browserscope.org/?category=network), browsers are supporting typically 6 - 8 simultaneous connections per host nowadays. However, there's an average max connection limit of 2 times of that. Would it make sense to adjust the behaviour to generate only two asset hosts by default?
