From Wikipedia:

In HTTP 1.1 all connections are considered persistent unless declared
otherwise[1]. The HTTP persistent connections do not use separate
keepalive messages, they just allow multiple requests to use single
connection. However, the default connection timeout of Apache 2.0 httpd
[2] is as little as 15 seconds[3] and for Apache 2.2 only 5 seconds.[4]
The advantage of a short timeout is the ability to deliver multiple
components of a web page quickly while not tying up multiple server
processes or threads for too long.

So if you load a bunch of images, they will all come down over
the same connection, but by the time you move to another page,
it's likely that the connection will have been dropped by that time,
depending on server settings.
