I start one curl client with low data rate with option "--limit-rate 10" (10 bytes per second), and afterwards I start a normal curl client. It seems initially the second curl client waits for something for a few seconds, and then it quickly finishes downloading. After that the first curl client download is still going on. So it seems the second connection does not need to wait for the first one to finish. By the way, is there a way observe the two pool? I used server-status module, and I can see very clearly there is only one worker there.
