You got the stats wrong. Its always the same site specifically some unnamed Google property (they used Search and Youtube as other examples so it could be one of them).

Google is say that, for clients connecting to the same site, the slowest 1% of those clients saw a 1 second improvement in page load time by using QUIC instead of TCP. (presumably its SPDY + QUIC against SPDY + TCP as they say at the end of the article). That's pretty good.

It was 1 second shaved

Not sure what you are getting at, s/sites/clients/. The definition of 'pretty good' depends on how slow that 1% of clients are, as the parent said, 1 second out of 60 (or even 30 or 10) would not really be anything of note.
