I think he means orthogonal here in the sense of complementary. SPDY + resource packages may be faster than either individually.

can you explain ? both try to minimize the number of tcp connection and thus avoid the slow start at every http requests.

spdy got the advantages of being a dropped in solution, aka you push the layer in the browser, and in the server. But no change in the website itself.

"resource packages" requires changes in the browser and at web site level.
