I'm not sure that follows. Higher CPU usage isn't undesirable because it slows things down (although it may), it prevents battery powered devices working efficiently. Plucking a figure from the air, if QUIC knocks 10% off the battery life of mobiles, that's a hard sell.
- marcosdumay 7y agoNetwork usage of CPU is tippically well bellow rounding error on a usual system. That's different if you are talking about a static assets CDN or if you are designing networking equipment, but for usual applications, no, it won't make a difference on the battery life of your mobile, page rendering will, not network.

Personal tests of phones in airplane mode and without airplane mode show even network keepalive consumes a fair amount of energy. I plan on purchasing the book as reviewed by this blog post: https://petewarden.com/2015/10/08/smartphone-energy-consumption/ https://petewarden.com/2015/10/08/smartphone-energy-consumpt...

- krferriter 7y agoSure but if HTTP/3 adds significant processor overhead compared to prior versions and the user isn't getting a noticeable benefit from this cost, they're not going to like it and it sort of seems like a pointless waste of effort.
