Perhaps you can +1 them on this feature request. However, if you're serving your static files via web2py itself (and not via a static app on another domain for speed) then web2py will send the .gz file version of a requested asset if it exists. For example, a request for mysite.css comes in, web2py sends mysite.css.gz automatically if it exists, else it sends mysite.css. The zip_static_files.py utility in your web2py scripts directory will create gzipped versions of all your static files for you.
