How much does that slow down the browsing experience, if you've got an old slow PC? (I can believe that if you've got a fast PC and a slow internet connection, it could make things faster overall ... but the breakeven point is not obvious.)

Furthermore, the additional load to the server is quite small.<br> <br> If you are concerned about widespread impact on users, consider that slashdot and google are both mod_deflated.<br> <br> - Naz.<br> </body> </html>
