HTTPS gives you the packet ordering costs of TCP and the handshake costs of TLS.
With an SSH-like key setup - i.e. just getting the server's pubkey on first use and rolling it over when it advertises a new one - you could asymmetrically encrypt every request in a single UDP packet and thus gain the same security and lower 99'tile latency.
