Sure, however we may encourage them to enable mod_gzip on http://debian.org/mirror/webmirror#ref Such a question is more in the scope of DSA, so let's forward it to them.

I have nothing against gzip for web servers in general, but I thought it was always a rule of thumb thing, and you enabled it if you're bandwidth limited and don't if you're cpu bound. Has anyone looked to see what the numbers are like at the moment? A quick look at the munin stats suggests we don't use all that much bandwidth at present (or cpu, for that matter) so maybe it doesn't matter either way? ------------------------------------------------ Subject: Bug#272335: www.debian.org do not support mod_gzip From: Holger Levsen Time: Mon Apr 20 07:25:15 2009 Hi, On Montag, 20.

Sure, it's a factor to take into account, but I don't think it's worth changing the setup for a hypothetical issue. I'm only talking at present about issues we can actualy measure, which lead me to believe we don't need to make any changes.

By the way, there are 0 figures for apache access / volume on http://munin.debian.org/debian.org/klecker.debian.org.html > > ain't there are third factor to consider: the bandwidth(+cpu) used on the user > > side? if the user has little bandwidth, mod_gzip enhances the browsing > > experience (if cpu is available to unzip). > > Sure, it's a factor to take into account, but I don't think it's worth > changing the setup for a hypothetical issue.

Given the high volume of static text content, we can think it (at least) worth the try. And you're right, that's currently not a issue, but a possible improvement. Apache will cache the compressed pages anyway, so the CPU impact would not be that high, for an improved downloading time (serveral dozens of %) on the user side where the pages will display faster. And since the compression level can set, it can be used to tune the CPU usage.

If you really really really feel strongly about this we may reconsider. But until then we probably won't do this. ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Common Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is no need to reply to this message unless you want to RE-OPEN your ticket with ID [rt.debian.org #1298].
