That's a great question. I don't know! I plan to have nginx in front of my node servers to handle ssl, compression and spdy. I know that unlike normal http, spdy compresses the response headers. However, compression of the content of the response is still up to the application. I don't know if it changes whether requests can be compressed. And it sounds like websocket communications are not affected by the presence of spdy at this time.
