Hi!

I have some new results.
After following the conversation here,

https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2016-03/0126.html
I made some more tests to confirm if window size is also biasing my
results. In my tests, connection window
turned out to be an important component. In this test, I concurrently
requests a small number of resources (12) from the server over http2.
I used both libcurl based client and the nghttp http2 client. By increasing
the connection window size in the nghttp, I see an improvement
over 20% as compared to https with six concurrent connections and over 51%
as compared to the libcurl based one. I tried this patch
https://github.com/curl/curl/compare/master...Moliholy:http2-window in curl
to change the connection window size. However, I have not got any
improvement. The server traces look the same, the server often waiting for
window update request. By the way, unlike my last test scenario,
I have only increased the tcp buffer sizes up to 16 MB. So, somehow I have
not been successful to change the default connection window size in nghttp
library for libcurl.
