“Are you ready to take a look at a fairly new technology that promises you to save bandwidth? Maybe you’re even more interested when the promises range from a 50% to a 80% amount of savings? Jump in, and take the ride to see if it works out as well as you were promised. I’m going to take a walk down Apache 2 server lane and benchmark mod_deflate in a real life situation instead of a synthetic setup.”
ever heard about mod_gzip ? i used it years ago with apache 1.3.x
nothing new here
Looks exactly like mod_gzip to me, although if I read that right with mod_deflate I could use bzip2 instead of gzip?. <whistling>
You can save 50% to 80% already today on many webpages if you replace the crappy code with HTML and CSS.
Just look at the Google homepage, they throw multiple terabytes out every day due to unnecessary elements and bloated code.

AddOutputFilterByType is buggy. There are serious problems with it when using apache. See
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33499
It’s just makes mess.
if i am correct (which i may not be) – if you use a good css stylesheet – it is downloaded once for that site – and the content pages can then refer to items – inclufing images – from that sheet – wiohout having to redownlaod it everytime… i think plone works like this = and i find that plone sites take time to download once – but after that they are quick.
You are correct. I have a dream someday client side XSLT will work much like that.
