While you may have a fat pipe your users might not. Gzipping increases
perceived performance as well as real performance.

As long as your content is static, its definitely going to increase
performance - think about it this way:

No-Gzip:   Request -- Deliver ----------------------------> Recv
Gzip:      Request -- Deliver -----> Recv

Now when that server has finished it can go back to idle or delivering to
another client.
