You're trading CPU cycles (running the compression algorithm) for bandwidth. I suspect you're also trading a certain amount of RAM (some extra buffers), though I haven't checked or measured how much so I may be talking out of my hat (as usual). Finally, you may be increasing the time to the first byte arriving back at the client, as you're increasing the amount of output the client has to generate before the first segment of the response is sent. If your servers are CPU-bound, you may not have the spare cycles; if you're tight on RAM, check whether the compression increases the memory use. If you have timing requirements, check that a system with compression enabled still meets them. All that said, a "typical" business application almost certainly has spare CPU, some spare RAM and no tight timing constraints on the first byte being returned - it's generally bandwidth out of the server and querying the database that are the limiting factors. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
