Comment:
I wondered what the performance effects of SPDY/HTTP2 are. As a simple
test, I used the network panel in Tor Browser to compare the loading speed
of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. Here are the page loading
times, in seconds:
{{{
network.http.spdy.enabled = false
8.36, 7.21, 7.16, 6.47, 9.39, 7.19, 7.10, 7.05,
7.21, 7.03, 8.58, 9.41, 7.03, 6.93, 6.81, 7.40
Average: 7.52 ± 0.90 s
network.http.spdy.enabled = true (also, sub-prefs enabled)
4.67, 5.18, 4.81, 4.56, 5.03, 4.62, 5.21, 4.95,
4.67, 4.69, 5.04, 4.73, 4.86, 4.71, 4.60, 4.82
Average: 4.82 ± 0.21 s
}}}
So, at least on this page, Tor Browser would benefit from re-enabled
HTTP2/SPDY (unsuprisingly).
