At the risk of offending those that try to keep this list HTML only, have
you ever (or anyone else) found the need to gzip ahead of time?  That is, to
not incur any potential performance hit when (e.g.) mod_gzip does it's
thing?

Sorry I could help but ask the question here since we're on the top.  I
promise not to take it further if/after it's answered ;)

I find that very odd given the intense optimization that seems to be par for
the course for sites like yahoo, webreference.com, etc.

I wish I had the time to write that.  That is, though I'm not dealing with
enough traffic that requires such a utility/process (at the moment) and
shifting of my focus to write it... if it were easy to use and not too
disruptive to the html dev process, I would use it on almost any project.  I
guess companies like yahoo that most likely have such a tool aren't inclined
to share it.

Thanks again,
