Nothing very objective I'm afraid.
You can see the kind of results we see with SPDY in our 2012 javaone
presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ai_rrhM8gA
Don't get me wrong, we certainly have application scenarios where our
throughput bottle neck is the size of HTTP headers. Reducing HTTP header
size should be a priority of HTTP/2. But I don't think we need to
sacrifice good protocol basics to achieve a world record in compression
efficiency.
