Tested on a network with ~3.5 Mb/s. I think it is reasonable to go with gzip 7 but would not expect a compression level higher than seven to bring any tangible benefit.
For network view:
- TP53 ClinVar, without compression: 279 kB
- TP53 ClinVar, gzip 7 compressed: 12.9 kB
This should be super-easy and provide a tangible benefit. I could use either:
