[Ben] HTML5 preloading suggestion...

[Colin Holgate]

If that one stack has all the media inside a binary, then yes. If it’s exported as regular HTML5, a lot of media will be individual files.

Those will get cached by HTML5 anyway, but for the first time user if you can download 6 items at the same time, it’s dramatically faster than downloading one at a time.

The number 6 comes from the abilities of the worse browsers by the way. Ironically, IE is the best, with it being able to download 11 things at once.

In that particular case each download was completed before the next one starts. The problem was completely solved by allowing more connections at the same time.
