Great, thanks.
please excuse the enthusiasm, here is some more: I've been
long convinced that speed always wins in speed vs features..
Apache::Compress gives you more speed without feature reduction!
thats worth getting enthusiastic about - its like free money :-)
Also.. popular portals are probably not implementing content
compression yet(?) due to worries over patchy browser support,
so that just makes it even better..
