Any particular reason? Is this another de-GNU-ity? Ruslan just had the same discussion on -CURRENT a few weeks ago. There was some controversy involving various tradeoffs with compression size, and processing time. Might want to review those just to make sure that the dial-up and low-bandwidth users aren't impacted. Wouldn't hurt to run benchmarks before and after as well. I'd do it myself, but it's Sunday afternoon and I'm too lazy :-) Best Regards, jpb ===
