I use compression on almost all of our servers at FusionLink. There
might be a problem with some flash players (just fyi in case you run
across a problem). If you're using IIS, Port80Software has some great
tools to manage the http compression.

Also, I'd strongly consider zipping all content from the server with
gzip to minimize the bandwidth requirements. Server-side delays are
not your enemy here, bandwidth is.

I'd probably not focus too much on how fast you generate the page,
more on how small you can make the data and how to make the least
number of round trips betweent he browser and server. Optimizing and
extra 2 seconds out of a SQL call won't help if it still takes 30
seconds to send it across the Atlantic Ocean.
You might actually be very interested in checking out the YSlow tool from
Yahoo:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/
"YSlow analyzes web pages and suggests ways to improve their
performance based on a set of rules for high performance web pages.
YSlow is a Firefox add-on integrated with the Firebug web development
tool. YSlow grades web page based on one of three predefined ruleset
or a user-defined ruleset. It offers suggestions for improving the
page's performance, summarizes the page's components, displays
statistics about the page, and provides tools for performance
analysis, including Smush.it™ and JSLint. "
