I thought SPDY was, to quote wikipedia, about: "reducing web page
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_page> load latency
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(engineering)> and improving web
security <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_content_security>"
How does SPDY help when the issue is lots of small requests ping ponging
back and forth between client and server?

(Do we want to wait for SPDY in every browser before we use ES6 modules?)
