How much more CPU and memory?  If you are worrying about the difference
in CPU and memory I assume you're still running Netscape version 1.

This is a default that can be changed by the embedded community.  The
gain is smaller log files and the ability to remove a GPL'ed binary from
the system with out breaking things.  (there are still uses of gzip, but
we are one step closer...)
