we can already transfer many objects over a single connection with
HTTP/1.1
SPDY without SSL would be more speedy than with it.
There may be only a couple R-Ts to get an SSL handshake, but sprinkle
on a CRL / OCSP check and you're left eating dust.
So, let's just get this straight for the record. SSL will not improve
latency. It will make it worse, and for many people (on
already-high-latency links) a LOT worse.

Personally, I thought that the first optimization was for latency,
How do you optimise latency by adding 3 RTs in a SSL setup?
with bandwidth as secondary and (obviously) consequential. Trade-offs
may have to be made.
