Not at the client level. There is room for further improvement here. But we do
do some coalescing: we won't have multiple local requests in flight for the
same key, for example.
Most of the above issues were caused by the browser not being found, this has
been fixed in 90% of cases by the changes I made to browse.cmd.
However the fact remains that a newbie node is still rather disappointingly
slow, even with a tweaked browser.
