Which part of SPDY do you think might make it perform worse than HTTP over slow or unreliable connections? I can think only of TLS, and such SPDY documentation

Which part of SPDY do you think might make it perform worse than HTTP over slow or unreliable connections? I can think only of TLS, and such SPDY documentation as I have seen claims that the latency drawbacks of using TLS are outweighed by other features of SPDY.
- wccrawford 15y agoWell the first thing that triggered my wondering was that it's different. The second was that I read SPDY holds connections open. And the third was that I couldn't find anyone benchmarking different types of internet connections with it, just a generic '64% faster!' which hardly ever holds true regardless of connection type. So my general skepticism kicked in and now I want to know. Edit: To their credit, they said '64% reduction in page load time', which is a lot more quantifiable than '64% faster'.
