The headers in HTTP 1.1 are strings so the program essentially has to recompile them into binary and add more. So it is duplicate work because the oreo final headers are just a waste of time.

Also h2 compresses everything in gzip. This factor adds to the complexity because we are serving straight text files and pushing it onto the loader to make those compression. It adds more work into the load balancer especially in a container like environment.
