Some speculative connections are disabled when connecting via a proxy:

However, in order to test the performance impact of speculative connections, we will likely want a way to disable this for automated performance tests.

Actually, it turns out that this doesn't really make sense:
Because of network partitioning, the hashkey for a proxied speculative connection will include the proxy address.
So this will never match the hashkeys generated from API calls to speculative connect (e.g. from dom on mouse_click_down or from the awesomebar).
So performance testing speculative connections via proxies really doesn't seem practical.
Closing.
