What are we talking about here --- some hack to make users' web browsers
decompress pages on-the-fly? How much does that slow down the browsing
experience, if you've got an old slow PC? (I can believe that if you've
got a fast PC and a slow internet connection, it could make things
faster overall ... but the breakeven point is not obvious.) What are
the odds that people using older browsers will be locked out entirely?

I have been using mod_deflate for years on my web server, and have yet
to notice _any_ difference on even very old hardware. Furthermore, the
additional load to the server is quite small.<br>
<br>
If you are concerned about widespread impact on users, consider that
slashdot and google are both mod_deflated.<br>
