yes, App Engine should be compressing, as outlined here:
http://code.google.com/appengine/kb/general.html#compression

most browsers are recognized and compressed data returned... just
confirm your response headers. below are one example of request and
response headers (with FF3 as the client):

Accept  text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language en-us,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding gzip,deflate
