The engine-wide gzip middleware gave every in-flight request its own
compressor of about 1 MiB, and the public /assets bundles let an
anonymous client keep a handler blocked in Write until WriteTimeout, so
a thousand stalled downloads held a gigabyte. The listener itself took
any number of connections, each holding buffers and a goroutine before
any login.
The bundles are now served from a gzip copy made once per file, with
the assets prefix left out of the per-request middleware, and the panel
listener closes a new connection once 2048 are open or its source (an
IPv4 address or IPv6 /64) holds 256; a loopback reverse proxy counts
only toward the total.
