You completely missed the point of my post.  I suggest you read it 
again.  The claim made was that this site shows that https gives better 
performance than http, whereas that is only true if you're using 
http/2.0 and only for certain scenarios (lots of small requests).  My 
objection was not to the claim that in those scenarios http/2.0 over TLS 
is faster than http/1.1 (whether over TLS or not) but to the claim 
actually being made, which looked nothing like the claim that's actually 
true.
