I suspect that trying to implement it through the omfile gzip function would merely offset that load into the Rsyslog application, but I wanted to see if anyone had direct experience with it.
This is in use at at least one very high performance environment and performs well. You need to take into account that you gain some time "back" by drastically reducing the i/o activity. But of course there is some CPU toll for the compression. Keep in mind that with rsyslog it is far less in spikes, so it will probably "slip under" the actual workload.
