Hi Mark, Regarding the implementation of Apache::Clean, the question is -- whether or not you can benefit one way or another from the fact that your uncompressed responses are 5-20% less? I can really talk about the Light-Compression in Apache::Dynagzip, keeping in mind that Apache::Clean provides many extra things, but I assume that the blank spaces make the main "blank volume" of unprepared for transmission files.
Normal compression (gzip) usually makes files 3-20 times less. The compression ratio depends very little on whether the light compression was applied prior to gzip, or not. What question would you like to add to Web Content Compression FAQ?
