Hello,
it's questionable is SPDY is usefull at all.
Normally only few things changes if you visit a website seconds time
(stylesheets, javascriptlib, pics, etc. are static).
They are not delivered two times via http because they are cached in
browser.
SPDY didn't support any caching so a client that visits websites more
than once has to load everything again. Very bad.
If the caching problem isn't solved SPDY via tor would be worse than
http I think.
greetings
Carsten
