If you believe the SPDY marketing material that one of the reasons behind it is to reduce delay from TCP window expansion then small sites should be where it shines. A small site is more influenced by time to 'ramp up' connections. Yet it appears to be slower on small sites.
Also, bbc.com and greenweddingshoes.com (now 10 MiB) are small pages? Hardly.
It's pretty clear to me with the slew of basic errors and oversights in Google's numbers that performance wasn't the motivation behind this protocol. I'm scratching my head trying to understand what they were thinking.
