I just want to be super explicit on this. There is a trade off to be made
here between fast and loose Vs security and safety. My take is that speed
absolutely is not so important that forward-secrecy for user requests, or
replay safety for applications should be compromised.

Even better speed benefits can be had by using persistent connections,
which incidentally are also a little more robust against traffic analysis.
