Your server must be a C=64 or something. I'm running Zope on an Apple Powermac G3 B&W at 350Mhz -- not really an up-to-date powerhouse. Gzipping most of my COREBlog pages shows no noticeable difference in processor load - even on such a lame machine. I'm not even using apaches gzip-encoding module, but the Zope builtin stuff. Being able to get things faster to the clients frees load off the server, the payoff for gzipping content is mucho worth it in my experience. The next thing that paid off huge was implementing handling of If-Modified-Since headers. Bandwidth use for the Googlebot went down from from about 50MB per month to around 1MB. That helps getting processor load and disk load down too. Other search engines and even some "real" clients get 304's too.
