The last time I tested this, gzip'ing didn't really make much of a
difference.
Essentially we had this block repeated 500 times:
<div>
<div>
something here
</div>
<input some really long stuff here>
<div>
</div>
This was then also indented 4x5 places from the left, so the amount of
white space was massive.
Some browsers (such as Chrome) handled it fine, but IE8/IE9 lagged pretty
badly.
Feel free to test for yourself, but this was certainly our experiences from
it.
