Not seeing bandwidth savings from gzip compression #16

Open anyweez opened 7 years ago

Follow-up from #8, I'm expecting significant bandwidth savings from gzip compression but not seeing any change. Figure out what's going on here.

Re "not seeing any change" - the response body is MUCH smaller with gzip (good!) but still getting the same overall bandwidth utilization, which is weird. Possible I'm making more requests in the same time if I'm capped on network throughput. I've tried informal experiments but need to collect data where throughput definitely isn't a limiting factor.
