Really!! I will use this, and I wonder why I haven't heard of it before. How much money can be saved using this? I mean worldwide. Sure would be interesting to see some calculations..

Make me wonder if Apache is the only server with this (as included module) feature.

Really, I don't know why more people don't know about this excellent module. It doesn't use a lot of extra system resources and it saves an -incredible- amount of bandwidth. I use it on almost all my servers.

How much money does it save? That depends on how much your bandwidth costs, and how much of your website is compressable (images don't compress, so only text and html will be gzip'ed).

Try it out and do some tests for yourself. It's the best tip of the year! :-)
