Are you using and Coldfusion style loops to build content in your files???
If so, then remember you are building strings of source which will
dramatically increase filesize (pending on the size of the loop).  Example
being creating a bunch of <OPTION> tags from a query result set.  File saved
will be MUCH smaller than the file read.

I am using CF to write the server side portions of a palm PQA (basically a
small web app).  Right now I am trying to optimize some pages and here is
what happens:

        1.  I run the requested page in internet explorer.  I save it to a
file.  I then load this static page in the palm web clipping app and it is
903 bytes.

        2.  When I run the requested (dynamic) page through the web clipping
app, it is almost twice as large.....1600 bytes.  These pages are identical
as far as the end result output!

        I am keeping in mind that the proxy server that Palm.net uses does
do compression....so is there any reason to think that a page served from CF
can't be compressed whereas a static page could?

        I even tried renaming the static page with a .cfm and putting some
simple <cfif>'s in there to see if it makes a difference....and it
doesn't....still much smaller than the dynamic version.

        The output from the dynamic page matches perfectly with the static
page....just when loaded in the palm they are wildly different......


This is a big deal since the PalmVII only does ~2 kbps!

any help would be greatly appreciated....
