well it depends what uses most of your bandwith. If it is for images, then compression will not help much since images are allready compressed. In that case, you may save much more if you can put images in some directory and tell apache to allow cacheing for that directory. On the other hand if your bandwith goes mainly on thransfer of html source for the pages then compression can shave up to 80% of your bandwith usage. rush -- http://www.templatetamer.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
