title: couchdb request never completes
body: <p>I am trying to request a large number of documents from my database (which has over 400k documents).  I started using _all_docs built-in view.  I first tried with this query:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://database:port/databasename/_all_docs?limit=100&amp;include_docs=true
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>No problem. Completes as expected.  Now to ramp it up:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://database:port/databasename/_all_docs?limit=1000&amp;include_docs=true
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Still fine.  Took longer, more data, etc. as expected.  Ramp it up again:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://database:port/databasename/_all_docs?limit=10000&amp;include_docs=true
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Request never completes.  The Dev tools in chrome show Size = 5.3MB (seems to be significant), and this occurs no matter what value for the limit parameter I use that is over 6500ish.  No matter if i specify 6500 or 10,000, it always returns 5.3MB downloaded, and the request stalls.</p>
  
  <p>I have also tried other combinations, such as "skip" and it seems that limit + skip must be &lt; 6500 or I get the same stall.</p>
  
  <p>My environment: Couchdb 1.6.1, Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, Azure A1 standard</p>
