  1. Continue to develop Stone Ridge's performance testing capabilities.
  2. Design and implement new HTTP disk cache.
  3. 658222: TLS False Start for SPDY
  4. Improve SPDY implementation with things like server push and SPDY/4 support.
  5. 421128: Independent windows/tabs should not starve each other for network connections
  6. Resolve NSS race conditions leading to instability and security issues.
