Arthur - what I was trying to find out is whether the class-loader can be
made to load several classes at once, as opposed to one-at-a-time; I've
been runnning hotjava cross-continent through an http->ng->http relay,
and I noticed that according to the the progress monitor, only one class
at a time ever seems to be requested, meaning that the pipe stalls after
each class is finished. Although classes are an ideal subject for server
pre-send, it'd be nice to be able to have client pre-fetch in use as well
