Well 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'.
