This is an interesting demonstration of a use case HTTP was made for, and where HTTP works well. The issues we are facing are non-working pipelining in HTTP/1, increase in HTTP header size from things like cookies and ua-prof-diff, and streaming of video. It doesn't appear that you are testing these issues, so it makes sense that the performance difference isn't that great. It would be preferable if HTTP/2 would always win over HTTP/1 though. Since your minify-tests performs non-reversible content modifications, I would be very careful to use those results. /Martin Nilsson -- Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
