If your traffic is all LAN based - compression will probably not make much of a difference.
Don't worry about writing a compression filter - tomcat comes with one on its HTTP connector. Or if your using apache - use mod_gzip. I here the latest IIS also has compression support.

Dear list,
I have seen an example of using a filter, to Zip/compress the outgoing request. This for me is an exciting way of speeding up the load time for my webApp. ( For those who dont know, most internet browsers have an integrated unzip function, so a server can send the client a zipped html file, with the mime type set correctly and the browser will display the page, reducing drastically the bandwidth)
i) Is this technique recommended at all ? could this lead to a bottleneck at the filter ?
ii) IS this limited to html pages or graphics ? etc.
