I looked at this on my system at it turned out that it was making
around 190 requests to get 60 tiles (making duplicate requests),
here's a bug report I filed with further info:

http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/2912

Furthermore, when I manually visit an URL like (warning: this will
resize your browser):

http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wmsplugin/OpenStreetMap.html?bbox=13.1811813,52.4932330,13.1816406,52.4935127&srs=EPSG:4326&width=499&height=500

I get a viewing area which shows a very tiny part of the full z18 tile
being displayed:

If the WMSPlugin is stitching its view from such croppings of z18 it's
probably making some very wasteful requests, as my bug report
indicates.
