Which network connection are we talking about -- the one between HTTP

server?

This is definitely true for content applications, where most recent
items account for the lion's share of traffic, but it is generally
false for social networking applications, where there are VERY few
"commonly used" images, but rather, most of the content is used
uncommonly -- my friends view my pictures, your friends view your
pictures...
