Looking at the annotated headers for a single domain, on each request there are: 16 unique header names annotating authentication information 5 unique header names annotating rate-limiting information Of those headers, all but 1 will take 2 bytes to encode, increasing the size needed to reference just these names alone from 21 bytes / request to 41 bytes / request.
