Don't rush to adopt QUIC – it's a slog to make it faster than TCP

Configuration needs tweaking...

The default settings you get when installing it does not help, and you typically need to make sure you have configure 0-rtt and that your congestion window size is set correctly, not a lot but essential, and for that you remove almost all the overhead from TLS/HTTPS rountips for setting up encryption, and that you don't need to pause and wait for congestion protocols in the middle of an average size document you sen/receive.

So why not use UDP - UDP have no relaibility, the QUIC protocol adds that without additional coding, just like TCP does.

In short, you can easily win 200-600ms while having zero downside from lossy UDP.
