noticed a large speed increase? i enabled transparent gzip compression.. http 1.1 has been out for how long? 2 years? among its lesser known features, it enabled transparent content compression using gzip to reduce page sizes by up to 80%. problem was, of course, that nobody bothered. now, however, it seems that apache has it working perfectly, even for dynamic content. what a wonderful feature to save some bandwidth and provide far better response times..
