Comment on Compression efficiency with shared dictionaries in Chromeparent

Comments

If 60 bytes per request is a material overhead, then your workload is unlikely to benefit from general purpose compression of any kind.

Upload is usually slower, more latency sensitive, and suffers from tcp cold start. Pages also make lots of small requests, so header overhead can add up. HTTP/2 added header compression for these reasons.
