“The Web server can compress the output before it’s
sent back to the client. This results in a smaller page being sent
over the Internet at the expense of CPU cycles on the Web server.
For those servers that can afford the CPU overhead, this is an
excellent way of making pages download faster — it isn’t
unheard of for pages to be a third of their size after
compression.”
