Yeah it's a good read. Surprised it's not gaining more than a handful of up votes. It's made the home page of the verge and slashdot. Did I choose a poor title? Post at the wrong time? Oh well...

In short, with SPDY your server will push all related files like images to the client when it requests the page. Currently this is done by sending the page, having the client read it, and then the client requests all the later files.
