Flawed study is flawed. "Not as SPDY as You Thought" »
This study is very flawed. Talking to a proxy by SPDY doesn’t magically make the connection between that proxy and the original site use the SPDY protocol, everything was still going through HTTP at some point for the majority of these sites. Further, the exclusion of 3rd party content fails to consider how much of this would be 1st party in a think-SPDY-first architecture, where you know you’ll reduce round trips, so putting this content on your own domain all together would be better, anyway.
In short, while we might not see huge speed increases on day one from SPDY, it has a lot more promise and value than this flawed study suggests.
