I have nothing against gzip for web servers in general, but I thought it
was always a rule of thumb thing, and you enabled it if you're bandwidth
limited and don't if you're cpu bound. Has anyone looked to see what
the numbers are like at the moment?
A quick look at the munin stats suggests we don't use all that much
bandwidth at present (or cpu, for that matter) so maybe it doesn't
matter either way?
