Proxy and keepalives?

A newbie question:

Does nginx use keepalives to upstream servers when using proxy? It does
not
appear to.

I found the module for memcache and keepalives, which increased that
performance allot.

It doesn’t.

Word “allot” looks too optimistic for me, but actually I’ve never
tested.

50-75% more requests/second.

Is it some synthetic microbenchmark results or real life server
throughput increase?

Microbenchmarks will expectedly show you latency decrease
(theoretical maximum - ~ 3x, from 9 ip packets to 3), but I expect
real life throughput results to be much smaller.

A little of both.
