Is anyone aware of a way to serve precompressed content in apache
2.0.x? Multiviews, type-map or what ever?
I'm fairly certain if I can see a reproducible example of this
working, I can get it the rest of the way with type-map.

When I use multiviews, I observe Apache slowing a good 20-30%. I read
a lot of 'opinions' on the Internet, and came to believe the slowdown
is related to Apache performing an opendir on each hit just to search
for candidates matching /^index\.*$/. like the '.htaccess' look-ups,
Apache does not cache these look-ups and they are done every single
hit.
Each of my directories has roughly 1k-5k files on average (just shy of
7k in the largest dir). When I used a type-map, apache appeared much
'snappier' under load and I could still have static content in both
html (4.0.1) and xml (1.0; xhtml 1.1).

I spent most of the afternoon re-reading it... I still believe the goal is:
Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Type: application/xml
Am I correct?
How do I get apache to offer this for static files? There are no
proxies involved between the broweser and server
The only time I observed apache injecting the 'Content-Encoding: gzip'
it explisityl overode the 'Content-Type: application/xml' that I
specified with 'Content-Type: application/x-gzip'. (see the last
ethereal summary from the first post)

thanks for the reply!!!!
