I feel weird just adding to the wiki without someone's approval seeing that I'm hardly acquainted with CouchDB. Here's my stab at it. If I get no replies by tomorrow I'll add it to the wiki as is. === Compression of Attachments === As of version 0.11, CouchDB, by default, will automatically compress certain attachment types. That is, based on the Content-Type header of the request CouchDB may perform compression of the data. This is done to reduce the amount of data being shuffled around during replication, and in most cases it's probably what you want. However, if uploading large files (e.g. a 200M CSV) you may want to tweak this configuration in order to avoid compression and therefore reduce the network latency of the request. This setting can be found in the attachments section of the configuration. -Ryan
