Comment:

 I put quite a bit of work into this, and I'm fairly satisfied that the new
 patch in origin/maint-2.4 is at least a good improvement. The basic idea
 is to restrict new connection creation until we have enough requests to
 batch together (governed by a pref) in a new pipeline.

 Read the patch description for more details:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbrowser.git/blob/maint-2.4:/src/current-
 patches/firefox/0017-Randomize-HTTP-request-order-and-pipeline-depth.patch

 The patch still does not deal with SPDY directly.
