I peeked at the Apache module doing on-the-fly compression when I bumped
into some problems with mine. In the past there was the 3rd party
mod_gzip module, using gzip compression, but nowadays apache contains a
mod_deflate module in it's source code for "deflate" compression.
Comments in that source state they prefer deflate over gzip since it
uses less cpu (at the cost of slightly less compression). I don't know
what is truth and what is not at that level.
