>  Currently, proxy.config.spdy.initial_window_size_in is set to the default value 64K (suggested in
> http://www.chromium.org/spdy/spdy-protocol/spdy-protocol-draft3-1). This suggested value is perhaps due to historic reasons when the window_size was only allowed 2 octets in the older spdy versions.
> Note that, ideally, the client (sender) should still be able to defer the upload when the send window is exhausted until the server (receiver) sends an WINDOW_UPDATE frame indicating to resume the sending. 
> Even so, 64K may still be too small and may result in increasing upload
> latencies, especially, in case of large concurrent upload scenarios. Hence, I would like to bump up the default value for the spdy initial window
> size to a higher value (preferably to 1 mb like some of the more popular spdy enabled web servers are using).
> Here's some basic benchmarking data (thanks to [~yzlai]):
> 5 parallel uploads from APAC to the US with a total of 2,299,250 bytes.
> spdy=off, 2.34 secs
> spdy=on, spdy.initial_window_size_in=64k: 11.28 secs
> spdy=on, spdy.initial_window_size_in=1M:   1.99 secs
> spdy=on, spdy.initial_window_size_in=10M:  2.01 secs
