Hi,

we try to optimize our installation.
We have much free CPU power but the bandwidth goes sometimes over 15MB/s 
on each server. Together the clients produce a lot of traffic.
Our network equipment is quite well (Cisco 6500) but we are not the only 
one who uses this network.
We thought about gzip CompressionLevel<=3.

Do You still think it isn't good idea to turn the compression on?

Greetings,

Wojtek
