these libraries only needs to be compressed once, after that they can be 
served pre-compressed thousands, or even millions of times, right? 
so i would imagine they'd use gzip -9 to minimize bandwidth usage, and make 
the library load as fast as possible, but testing on
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js 
it seems that file is served with gzip compression level 5... why? that 
would make sense if they're compressing the file on-the-fly for every 
request and they're trying to minimize cpu-utilization, but storing it 
pre-compressed would use way less cpu anyway, so that probably isn't it.. 
why is it served using gzip -5?
