HTTP 1.1 and 2.0 do not require TCP, although that is by far the most common way they are used.
What overhead would TCP bring after the three-way handshake on a uncontested stable network without packet loss? I would expect it to be no more than UDP.

You are correct. UDP will get you lower numbers, I was more of saying that TCP will not be much worse (maybe within 1ms) under good network conditions.
