Sorry Ciaran, but you're metrics are meaningless unless you can tell us what
you were measuring (hardware at each end, intervening network hardware,
bandwidths, RTT, network latency, request latency...).

I find it very hard to believe that the gz handler would only reduce a 524Kb
HTML or Text file to 494Kb. I think your methodology is flawed.
