Could some one explain the downsides of setting compression="on" in the
server.xml

I have a web app that averages 2 million hits aday.

The static and images are handled using apache.

I am trying to understand what the compression setting is used for in the
server.xml and what are the ramifications.

I found out about the setting reading "
http://brandlay.com/wojtek/publ/tomcat.jsp " that was on the list earlier
today.

any bandwidth I can save would be great

Thanks for the patience

Randy
