Hi all, I've been experimenting with turning on gzip compression on HTML response packets for CSpace and have some overall good results. In general, using compression for response packets decreases the download time from server to client and helps to improve performance. Using some rough, informal testing I was able to see compression results from between 50% to 90% and a decreased load time of a pre-cached login page of roughly 33%. (from 1.5s to 1.0 sec). Loading a new Cataloging record page seemed speedier too from my informal testing. My notes can be found here: http://issues.collectionspace.org/browse/CSPACE-4998 - Jesse

Many thanks for initiating this investigation, Jesse, and your detailed notes!
