Why do you think this is useful to you? I remember reading an article on this and its conclusion was that zipping the output was only beneficial for large data between fast computers over a slow pipe. You have to look at who your clients are and if it's beneficial to have their machine use up extra time (processing power) unzipping things or not. Also, you're using more processing time on your computer having to do the zipping for every request, too.
