You're right... mod_gzip is enabled.

I thought that NS.4x handled this well... i mean, they handled regular
html files served by the apache mod_gzip.

I will try your recommendation and disable the compression of .css files,
and .js, and see if that improves anything (i will post back here).

Thanks.
