Investigation confirms HTTP/1.1 performs better than HTTP/1.0, highlighting the importance of web content optimization.

This research aims to evaluate the performance of HTTP/1.1 compared to HTTP/1.0 and the impact of specific web technologies on network efficiency.
Simple test setup comparing HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 implementations
Performance data collected from different HTTP server implementations including Jigsaw and Apache
Assessment of persistent connections, pipelining, and document compression methods
HTTP/1.1 with pipelining outperformed HTTP/1.0 under all tested conditions, achieving packet transmission savings of up to tenfold
Elapsed time improvement varied by network connection, showing significant benefits with HTTP/1.1
Use of CSS style sheets and PNG format further reduces network traffic, suggesting more effective web content would enhance performance.

Nielsen et al. (1997) studied this question.
