Rev cgi & gzip HTML data to browser

[jbv]

Hi list,

Has anyone tried to send compress data (gzip) from Rev cgi to a browser
?
I've spent the afternoon experimenting with this, and it works quite
well
(compress() squeezes 1 Mb of HTML data into 120 Kb), but it seems that
the browser takes forever to decompress the code... And finally, there's
no
real gain, since the time saved in downloading data is lost when browser

decompresses data...

Is there any trick / tip ?
I had the feeling that decompress routines embeded in the browser (IE6
Win)
would be much faster, at least as fast as the decompress() function in
Rev...
Sure, my Win box is a bit slow (Athlon 1.46 GHz), but nevertheless...

Thanks,
JB
