SPDY, a protocol Google revealed ... dramatically speeds up Web page loading by changing the way that browsers communicate with servers.

Sounds good so far   Smiley

... customers will have the ability to turn the protocol on easily; in tests, the protocol has sped up websites by 10 to 20 percent

Oh big deal, what a complete waste of time !!!  Undecided

Installing an advert blocking plugin like "Adblock Plus" in Firefox can give a comparable improvement without having to support yet another protocol !

SPDY isn't about improving DNS, it's about improving HTTP.

Doesn't appear that it's very much to do with PN, but more you and your browser and the sever serving the page up to you.
