I have no idea why we didn't enable this earlier... But by enabling gzip compression (which is supported by all modern browsers), we reduce the amount of bandwidth by 80%. There's no visible gain on a quick internet access (because of the unzipping), but it should give a major improvement on slow connections.
I've added an environment variable to disable it just in case there is some issue with that, if we see that it causes no issues at all, we may remove it in a future release.
