Does having multiple windows open affect the # of guests?

[Dis]

I had one open to civ3 straegy and one open for off-topic. I get the server busy message about the number of guests being exceeded. So I close 1 window, and then hit post reply again and it works!!

If it does slow things down, I will refrain from using multiple windows during busy times.

Just one window opened?

How is it calculated? Number of requests from independent IP addresses?
