Why upgrading your Linux Kernel will make your customers much happier: "Recently, Google have been pushing a change that would allow us to increase this number to 10. This change is going to be ratified. How do I know? There are 3 reasons.
Google and Microsoft already implemented it on their servers.
More importantly, the Linux Kernel has adopted it.
Google needs this change ratified if SPDY is to be successful.
This change drastically cuts down the number of round trips you need to transfer data:
1 round trip to get 14520 bytes, IW = 10
2 round trips to get 43560 bytes, CW = 20
In concrete terms, the same page that took 1.3 seconds to download could take 650ms to download. Further more, we will have a much larger amount of useful data after the first round trip.
