Do we have a maximum?  I didn't think that was the subject of the discussion.  Timeouts always need to look at the tail.  Though having more packets in the pipe might allow that tail to be brought in a little more than otherwise.

As for remembering RTTs being the solution here, strengthening our reliance on mechanisms that reinforce incumbancy is the best outcome.  I certainly expect people to do that, but if that means that a site is only "fast" on return visits, that's going to disadvantage new players more.
