I had an interesting question come up? How much of a speed improvement (if any) will I get by installing mod_deflate on apache?

I would think that it would be a good bit but without some sort of test I have no way of knowing. So I wrote a Test Program It requires mozilla or firefox to run but if people here would be willing to help me out It would be very good. It is not very hard. Just click on that link and then click the “run test” button. It will take over from there. It will take a few minutes to run.

Please note that this test requires Mozilla or Firefox to run.

You don’t have to send me the output, as it will store all the timing data in a MySQL database.

I’ll post a summery here when this is done.

Thank you once again.
