These are two different things for different purposes, the application
performance and the network performance.
HTTP is at the application layer and can send some information before
others assuming the receiving application can make good use of it
without waiting for all of it.
TCP is at the transport layer and can send some information in
separate packets assuming the overall network will work better with a
steady flow of similar, small-sized units of information. Then it will
reassemble them on the other end so you don't have to.
