Yes. Actually, Front-Line cache purpose is to cache responses, not to map
content to local files that you have previously compresses by hand. (...
which looks to me like a 90s hackish workaround for the lack of a mechanism
like Front-Line Cache).

Front-Line Cache will cache compressed (and not compressed) responses
locally, so Cherokee doesn't have to re-compress the same response twice
while the cache object is 'fresh'.

There is no need to do something by hand (compress files) when the server
can do it for you seamlessly.
