19When doing parallel transfers, this option instructs curl to prefer opening up
20more connections in parallel at once rather than waiting to see if new
21transfers can be added as multiplexed streams on another connection.
22
23By default, without this option set, curl prefers to wait a little and
24multiplex new transfers over existing connections. It keeps the number of
25connections low at the expense of risking a slightly slower transfer startup.
