I don't think we can expect that it always will perform better, but in most
cases it certainly should. Assuming HTTPS, the same ciphers, similar network
sitation etc.

But as I just mentioned the other day: we have not yet had the change to work
a lot on optimizing our h2 transfers so I'm sure we're not doing everything
the best possible way yet. Maybe we're even doing plain stupid things.

Getting (reproducable) testing going is a great first step. Rajiullah Shammi
posted a great test setup the other day, basically saying the same thing you
say (on a different test scenario):
https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2016-05/0080.html

Next we need to do careful traces of libcurl runs to see where the time is
spent (wasted) and what to do about it.

I doubt that particular functionality has any measureable impact, but as I
said: we need to measure and trace to understand where we need to improve.
