Including Zip functionality in a filter...

Dear list,

I have seen an example of using a filter, to Zip/compress the outgoing
request.
This for me is an exciting way of speeding up the load time for my webApp.
( For those who
dont know, most internet browsers have an integrated unzip function, so a
server can send
the client a zipped html file, with the mime type set correctly and the
browser will display the page, reducing
drastically the bandwidth)

i) Is this technique recommended at all ? could this lead to a bottleneck at
the filter ?

ii) IS this limited to html pages or graphics ? etc.

Kind regards

Ben Bookey
