what happens is when your browser makes a request it sends a single request to teh server. The way the net works means that this request can either jump straight there or end up going round teh world a couple of times before it hits the server. By opening multiple threads to the orginator site you lessen the risk of your request being a slow one. This sort of idea has been around for years in download managers and Firefox/Opera even do this for websites(its a configurable parameter).

Hope that helps
