Compressed web service has a profound effect on transfer rates and bandwidth usage. It is completely transparent from both the web designers chair and the end browser. No special software, plugins or settings are required. Some of our more heavily used forums (which consist of mainly text and light graphics) have seen 800% increases in speed and bandwidth drop to 10% of what it was before compression. Graphics, videos, mp3's etc won't be compressed for obvious reasons, but most sites have a good deal of text that is normally transfered uncompressed.

DV's servers always take advantage of the latest and greatest in the world of apache.

And the admin will do anything to keep people happy... and sometimes talks about himself in the third person :eek:

oh, and for what it's worth, I'd love feedback of any kind... too much? too little? too late?
