It makes an improvement.
Tested on an idle HSDPA link, with 247ms average latency to
dev.laptop.org.au. (Other users on satellite would notice even stronger
improvement).
Page load times in Firefox, with empty cache, using scripted activation:
http://dev.laptop.org.au/ about one second
https://dev.laptop.org.au/ about four seconds
With cache:
http://dev.laptop.org.au/ about one second
https://dev.laptop.org.au/ about three seconds
Fetch of only the base page without images, using curl:
http://dev.laptop.org.au/ avg 1.14 sec, std dev 0.43
https://dev.laptop.org.au/ avg 1.48 sec, std dev 0.74
(I did see strange delays on firefox force reload of
http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/106 but they do not occur with curl, so
I suspect there's a strange thing happening with an image somewhere,
probably the http://secure.gravatar.com/ one.)
