Honestly, one would think that the switch to a binary protocol and then to a different transport layer protocol would be justified by massive gains in performance...
- vlovich123 3y agoThe website being tested probably isn’t complicated enough to demonstrate that difference.
- drowsspa 3y agoEven then, I remember the sales pitches all mentioning performance improvements in the order of about 10-20%
- vlovich123 3y agoIn real world conditions, not loop back synthetic benchmarks.
- lttlrck 3y agoI believe his point is 10-20% gain is not massive. FWIW I don't know if that is what was claimed.
- vlovich123 3y ago20% is what real world data from Google suggested: https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-speeds-up-the-web-with-spdy/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-speeds-up-the-web-with-... I interpreted his comment as saying “where’s the 20% speed up” which seems like a more reasonable interpretation in context. A 20% speed up is actually quite substantial because that’s aggregate - it must mean there’s situations where it’s more as well as situations where it’s unchanged or worse (although unlikely to be worse under internet conditions).
