in general connection costs are low in bandwidth and low in cpu but high in
latency.. so neither end really minds if we make too many. perhaps the
constant 6 is wrong, but I think any adjustment should be based on data
unless there is a firm problem beig reacted to.

determining h2 does not require http, but it does require tls to be
complete.. this info is cached.
