Well we already use the gzip compression that is built into Apache since that works in tandem with the client too. http://betterexplained.com/articles/how-to-optimize-your-site-with-gzip-compression/ The point of minification is to remove comments, commented sections, optimize the code by removing closing tags when not needed (</p> or <br/>), strip unnecessary white space, etc.. there is more to it than just squeezing bits which is what LZO or GZIP do. They work in conjunction with each other. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
