I picked this up from Ade's blog a few months back and
it does feel a lot better. It also doesn't stop the
page loading when an image or other element is
requested from a slow or unavailable server.

I think it probably doesn't come as standard as it is
supposed to suck on dial-up. Imagine 48 consecutive
connections on a 5KB connection. You would probably
get all of the images timing out.

There could at least be 'a button' though.
