Me and many others use Apache or Squid in front of Zope. I think it's
better to put mod_gzip and cache configuration in there.

I wondered why the *** my css files were cached. I had turned
caching off in Apache, but they were still cached. Finally I found cache
directives in .metadata files.

I don't think plone should decide what to cache or what to gzip, at
least not without me expressively say so. Maybe that could be a setting
in the installers or something instead.
