Yes it might help. We have some web applications what have jQuery UI widgets on the page. The number of widgets is variable. They each independently connect to the server periodically to refresh themselves using XHR. It all works fine - it is just that if there are enough widgets on the screen at the same time, and they all fire off their requests simultaneously, some get queued up because the browser will only open a fixed number of connections at any one time. In reality, the requests are processed so quickly that it isn't noticeable. For the app I am talking about it doesn't matter one jot. If it did matter, then I might be better off using WS because there is no limit on the number of concurrent connections. I expect there is a downside to that also.
I am shouting it from the rooftops as a major benefit. I was just pointing out another difference between the two methods.

Yuk! :)
It might help if you provided a use case for multiple concurrent connections. Maybe I'm just not getting a clear picture of what you might like to do. Sometimes we fire off XHR requests in connection with keyPress events, where users may press and hold a key down. So we queue requests in a JavaScript array.
