Re: Lebgeek text content is not compressed

So someone else also thought that benchmarking compression is useful. Here's the link:
http://www.dotnetperls.com/compression-aspnet
It alleviates most of my concerns (2ms to 20ms of compression, which is rather useful especially for our part of the world). Perhaps it's more important for them when their connection speeds are a lot higher, and indeed CPU time could become more valuable in that case.

In Firebug, under Net tab, I can verify that the webserver is sending compressed data.
