capacity and speed vs. hunh?

[btahir]

Can someone explain this:

If you are accessing a page sized at 56KB then over a T1 line
(186KB/sec) that's 3.3 pageviews/sec. This somehow doesn't make sense
to me. I have a servlet that serves up a static page that's 56KB over
a T1 line and when I load tested it with 500 test users I got my
results back in 15 seconds. That's like 33 page views per second - 10
times what the max throughput is for a T1 line.

Maybe it is in the cache.
