It's definitely possible.
When I first tested this patch I added a log message every time
that EAGAIN is returned.  It happens, but not that often.  Anyway it's
true that depending on the bandwidth you have and the number of
simultanous open connections you set for a given server the download
speed may be affected.  What is your configuration?

It's probably a good idea.
