## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words)

The results show SPDY, on average, is only about 4.5% faster than plain HTTPS, and is in fact about 3.4% slower than unencrypted HTTP. This means SPDY doesnt make a material difference for page load times, and more specifically does not offset the price of switching to SSL.
