That depends on the OS. On Linux, it's fairly inexpensive (besides the TCP/IP 
cost of handshake), but on Windows it might be expensive.

And as evidence shows, browsers do open connections early so that the users 
won't notice the latency. Then again, this is for Internet connections where 
the handshake roundtrip can be hundreds of milliseconds.
