It was serial? Did you, by any chance, set the maximum number of running operations to 1? I don't recall for sure now, but that may be the default, actually. As far as I know, independent NSOperations in the same queue are executed in parallel, subjected to resource constraints and the maximum number of running operations.
I'm not disputing your results, by the way. As you said, using NSURLConnection might be the best approach in some cases, and perhaps the OP's situation as well. I only suggested NSOperation because that's what I've successfully used a few times, with minimal effort.
I'm about to start a project where I have to do precisely what the OP needs to do (fetch and display many images off the web), so I'll try both ways, time permitting.
