Ok, when using a persistent connection, apache still as to handle all the
hits.
maybe up to 200 for just 1 page. When I have multipart/related doc apache
would have to handle just one hit and push out a block of data.
In the server multipart/related docs also have to be faster, when you can
put all
if the content in one file, it takes less IO , than gathering all info for
each user.
On a peek load, i think, it easier just to push out data in one block,
instead of
100 small blocks. Specialy when you're talking about small files ( less than
1500 mtu incl header ) On the other hand, i don't exactly know who a
browser/apache handles a KeepAlive.

Most browsers do not support multipart (and dont ask me why, or which)

However, I do understand what you are talking about, is your question more
of:

I do not like mutliple connections for each resource on and including the
page, is there another way?

if so, then yes, turn on persistant connections on your webserver, thus one
TCP connection is made, and several resources are reqested across it. still
apears as several hits in the log, but only one TCP connection.
Also, give apearance of faster site, due to lack of making and breaking
connections.

Yes, but the same HTTP connection is reused to make many requests of the
same page. It is not like it will open 200 connections to fetch 200
images. That is the point of Keep-Alive.
