[support] CPU usage

Question: I just counted and our front page probably requires 17 HTTP 
requests to load (several small images, two CSS files). That means that 
500 HTTP requests 29 users. So if a classroom of 30 kids visits the 
front page at the same time, we would exceed 500 HTTP requests, right?

Am I right in my reasoning? Part of me thinks that it is unlikely that 
30 kids would all visit the site at precisely the same time. I figure 
that it's more likely that the page visits be spread out at least over a 
10 second period, so maybe 50 requests is a more reasonable guess for 
one classroom. Is that right?

Thanks.
