It is a wasteful consumer of CPU cycles. Also NTLM authentication is used, that doubles the HTTP request overheads on each new TCP connection. There are two things you can do to further improve performance: 1) converting from NTLM to Kerberos authentication. 2) moving the delay pools limitation into kernel QoS systems.
