creates a compressed cache file on the first request and the second time
it's requested, the server send the compressed version. With dynamic
compression, it does the compression on request. Add-in modules like
mod_gzip for Apache are required for the dynamic compression. And if I
understand gzip correctly, the extra spaces should be the easiest type of
thing to compress.
" Server administrators may be concerned that mod_gzip will place a heavy
burden on their systems as files are compressed on the fly. I argue against
that, pointing out that this does not seem to concern the administrators of
Slashdot, one of the busiest Web servers on the Internet, who use mod_gzip
in their very high-traffic environment."

But I'm not a server admin, so I'm just going on information that my server
guy mentioned a while ago.
