dynamically generated pages as well, which could shave some more percentage points off the bandwidth usage. Might be a help for the modem folks who do log in. :) However I'm not sure how much this would affect CPU usage; in any case there's no urgency for this, it's just something we might do if we have the cycles to burn (I don't think we do just now, but we might one day).
Modem people have hardware compression in their analog modems. ISDN people might benefit, since they normally don't have link compression.
