That is not a technical reason. And no. It doesn't work like that. UDP is quicker than TCP. It's not like 40 years of history will change that.

If you're so sure of this, why did you even ask to begin with?

(Also, what is your definition of "quick"? I have no association for that particular wording, are you referring to achievable thruput, CPU load, latency, congestion control, …?)

Are you a troll? The question was about H1 quicker than H3, and the OP explains the difference by saying it was TCP quicker than UDP, which is not a reasonable explanation, so I asked for source. But it was all about encryption (and only encryption) and how it was handled within the kernel, and I understood re-reading the first comment (before event sending mine).

Here "quicker" was about CPU load and well defined.

Please re-read too.
