fwiw .. The middle ground is use of flow control to limit the amount of
data that can be pushed.. that way small pushes that are rtt bound still
get performance benefits and bigger pushes have a limited amount of
bandwidth they can consume before being validated by a url
filter. (and of course from a browser pov the leading bytes of a
response are more interesting than the trailing bytes, so even this
partial push before the window-update rtt after going through the filter
is quite valuable).

I intend to experiment with that approach.
