Hm.  I usually use Apple's Safari, which is currently at 6.0.2, and
it looks like I installed that update at the beginning of November.
It's possible they instituted aggressive prefetching in the 6.0.1 to
6.0.2 update, but somehow I doubt that.

Would it make sense to just back off the rate limiting a bit?
