Interleaving also requires support at both ends. We have to play by the
rules of HTTP here, and it does not have chunk interleaving, only serial
pipelining.
I see the benefit of such approaches (chunk interleaving) in
proxy<->proxy connections, but I don't see much of a benefit in
browser<->proxy or proxy<->server connections except for possibly
perceived latency when loading a page with large images.. (the total
download time is still the same).
