Essentially, the "compressionThreshold" filter init param is a buffer size for CompressionResponseStream. If it's 0, then compression is turned off (this is handled by the filter, not the stream). Otherwise, it's the max of 128 (hard-coded min) and whatever is set in web.xml. The stream works by buffering up bytes and periodically flushing them to a GZIPOutputStream that wraps the response's ouput stream.
