I'd like to agree with everyone (or disagree , but lets be positive...) With current patterns of header usage, header reuse is not a particularly significant fraction of traffic. Koen's study which was performed about a year (?) ago shoed a rather small header set. Earlier samples had much larger header sizes (~1.2K). The reason for the change is almost entirely due to the reduction in the number Accept headers in the typical profile.The reason for doing this was that the headers were too big. The lack of stickiness caused the header size to shrink - it's hard to separate cause and effect here.
