What did you do?

test http/2 vs http1.1 transfert speed with client and server from standard lib

see a complete POC here: https://github.com/nspeed-app/http2issue

The issue is general, loopback (localhost) or over the wire.

What did you expect to see?

same speed order than http1.1

What did you see instead?

http/2 is at least x5 slower or worst

You're comparing encrypted HTTP/2 with unencrypted HTTP. You need to compare HTTP/2 with HTTPS to compare like with like.

hi, the POC is using H2C to avoid encryption.
I also compared encrypted versions with the product we're developing and we have the same issue.

Caddy a web server written in Go has the same issue. I've updated the POC with a sample Caddy config: https://github.com/nspeed-app/http2issue/tree/main/3rd-party/Caddy
