Nginx Patch: SPDY/3.1 protocol implementation

These ideas sound fine on paper, but for first time visitors (on a warmed up browser), server push didn't show any improvements to page load times in my benchmarks. My question is why enable server push at all?

I am no longer with the company for whom I performed the benchmarks, that's why I can't publish them. Perhaps there are other benchmarks out there, that show server push is more performant. If so, I would be happy to see them.

I don't know the details of your benchmark methodology or setup (server / client), so not sure I can offer a meaningful response... short of: let's not confuse "my benchmark failed" with "the future doesn't work". Anything from a poorly implemented server (broken multiplexing, flow control, prioritization, etc), to bugs in past versions of Chrome...

Jetty guys had a couple of nice demos they showed off at various conferences. Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ai_rrhM8gA
