Every time I look at the hype pages, it's always these unbelievably ridiculous edge cases. "Look at how much faster HTTP/2 is loading this page that is nothing but an array of 64 x 64 icons that are each 16x16 pixels!" -- well of course that's going to be slow with HTTP/1 if each icon is unique and not cached. But who does that? If that pathological case is yours, then sprite the icons and now it's one request, done.
