Volley+ OkHttpClient why use both?

Question

Currently I am using in my app Volley+HttpUrlConnection as http client, but sometimes is a little slow and I can't cancell requests.

So looking for another client i find OkHttpClient, some people recommend this and (Retrofit), I am good with Volley and i dont think to change right now.

So my question is:

What are the benefts using OkHttpClient with Volley? faster?

I have tried to find another OkHttpClient and all recommend this one.

I ve been wondering about this too, I ll be following the answers for this question, thanx for asking ^^ — Anis LOUNIS aka AnixPasBesoin, Aug 23 '15 at 19:04

(from volley google i/o video):

In nutshell:

Volley is:

Great for rpc-tyle network operations that populate UI.
Fine for background RPCs.
Terrible for large payloads.

In Volley everything happens in the memory so that isn't great for large data downloading (such as a big image or streaming contents).
