I guess you can do that, but I prefer something else. I use a GZIP compression filter on my control servlet that gets rid of all that extraneous whitespace and more when I sent responses back to clients that can accept compressed output.
That's what eBay does routinely. I'm seeing good compression in the response. I log before & after stream size, just to check. Fewer bytes on the wire means faster response, as long as the compression and decompression times are small compared to transmission time. My subjective measure tells me that response is pretty fast, but I have to admit that I don't have hard "before and after" numbers. I agree with your aim, but I disagree with the way you achieve it.
