Also, be aware of some bugs in IE with some formats: PDF - http://www.15seconds.com/issue/020314.htm I read somewhere that css and javascript files have issues too. In this case, the filter option is better since you can specify which extension to compress. Aymeric.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/09/03 10:59AM >>> You will be compressing images?! :( Remember that most image formats - gif, jpeg, png, etc, are already compressed. In most cases compressing them again will only gain you 2-3% improvement if anything at all. So you will be spending time compressing for nothing. Notice that the "compressableMimeType" attribute that you copied below does not include "image/jpeg". That is because whoever configured this example file rightly excluded compression of objects that would not benefit at all. If you are expecting compression to make up for a web site that is graphic heavy, you will be sorely disappointed. If, however, you have a website with significant amounts of text (i.e., large database result sets) then you will probably benefit. -Erik Ron Andersen wrote: >I am only using one platform and I need the best performance, since I will be compressing images. Therefore, if I use the connector compression, shall I turn the filter compression off(in web.xml).
