I'd like to know that as well.
It's interesting that they focus on WordPress. A custom WordPress install could potentially have several requests that make up a given page. Wordpress isn't really designed with reducing the requests in mind.

A request is a http request.
Wordpress is getting increasingly better at keeping requests lower. And it's all up to a user how they optimise; they can get it down to just a couple of requests if they wish.

Far from it.
You never have to worry about if other people are being resource intensive for one major reason. And if you got Hacker News'd, rather than punishing you and everyone else – we'd instead give you more resources to deal with it :)
