I have only written one large android application. In my experience volley was outstanding. http://developer.android.com/training/volley/index.html. I grabbed that from teh first web search. It lists some of the benefits, it is extremely advanced. You can find a ton of examples on github. I am not familiar with the library you are talking about, so it is hard for me to compare it. Generally volley and android in general does a great job of forcing you to do things in the background so you aren't blocking the ui. There are a number of factors to take in consideration too. The protocal ideally is pretty light weight like json since you are pulling from a phone with a spotty connection, and you want light weight deserialization. One of the elements of my project was a giphy selection control. very media intensive. Being smart about how you load data (not loading too much) and getting a few in so the user sees something while the rest is loading helps. Also there are a lot of libraries that work with the network that can help such as media libraries if you are pulling rich media and you need some compression and caching. Volley has caching and queuing mechanisms which probably the other library you are using don't have. Look at git hub for Volley examples there are tons and tons. I bet it would be pretty easy to bench mark wtih what you are doing and to a quick comparsion.
