AFAIK, CacheFlow has been against decent-quality public evaluations of
their products since November 1999. While I respect their right to
choose a marketing model, their position makes it easy to claim pretty
much anything.

I suspect that enabling pipelining will break many servers so I would
not recommend it without careful investigation and trials. Pipelining
in some popular clients is known to be broken. In the past, IIRC,
Squid supported request pipelining. However, all I can recall is
reports that it breaks things (inside and outside of Squid). I do not
know what the current situation is.
