I haven't done any performance testing with Cassandra 1.2, I was only giving possible reasons why the datastax binary driver might be faster. I have seen much better performance and reliability under heavy load in our internal rest services when switching from HTTP to SPDY. Possible reasons could be less sockets reads with more data per read which increases throughput, and it's easier to configure optimally.
And it could very well be that the datastax binary driver is slower than a thrift client, I haven't benchmarked it. Even so, that doesn't mean a driver that used Cassandra's binary protocol couldn't be made to run faster. I look forward to the opportunity to give it a try once we do move to 1.2.
