That sort of matches the relative number of parallel connections modern
browsers will open to proxies vs to web servers.

You need to read this:

Note that if you�re behind a proxy (at work, etc.) your download
characteristics change. If web clients behind a proxy issued too many
simultaneous requests an intelligent web server might interpret that as
a DoS attack and block that IP address. Browser developers are aware of
this issue and throttle back the number of open connections.

In Firefox the network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy setting
has a default value of 4. If you try the Max Connections test page while
behind a proxy it loads painfully slowly opening no more than 4
connections at a time to download 180 images. IE8 drops back to 2
connections per server when it�s behind a proxy, so loading the Max
Connections test page shows an upperbound of 60 open connections. Keep
this in mind if you�re comparing notes with others � if you�re at home
and they�re at work you might be seeing different behavior because of a
proxy in the middle.
