I agree. Even the size or time is the same in: uncompressed data (server) ---> (cliente) read data and uncompressed data ---> compress (server) ---> (cliente) uncompress --> read data For client it can change anything (in the worst case: if compression/uncompression time is high so 2 times above are equal) but it for server it can "save" bandwidth with "lost" of processing time. As processors are cheaper than traffic, it is a good thing. -- Álvaro Justen Peta5 - Telecomunicações e Software Livre 21 3021-6001 / 9898-0141 http://www.peta5.com.br/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
