GZip Compression Level 1 versus Level 9

[HollyWMarshall]

Hi,

Just wanted to get some thoughts on GZip Compression Level 1 versus Level 9.

On a typical page we've seen

No Gzip - over 300K
Gzip 9 - 25.95K
Gzip 1 - 26.15K

Is level 9 worth it and any other things to consider?

Thanks

Need to calculate your processing time between he two by the number of impressions to make that determination. If your site is in the 1M visitors and above every hour, then yes, there's a difference.

Tango - thanks. What level of visitors per hour would you say it "doesn't" make a difference?
