Ignoring HTTP/2, I'm finding it very interesting that on my 11" MacBookAir6,1 running OS X 10.9.5, Safari 7.0.6 is much faster than Chrome 44.0.2403.155 at the HTTP/1.1 test. Safari performs the test in almost exactly 3.00 seconds, while Chrome never comes in under 3.15 and often takes as high as 3.45.
