It may help, but is probably not the core of the problem -- I would follow the peer advice here and check the routers, etc. If you are interested in getting an idea of what compression will do for any Web app over HTTP and HTTPS, the first two tools on this page will give you an idea of: - compression savings in files size and transfer speed improvement - bandwidth savings calculation based on transfer or bandwidth billing models The analysis tools are free at http://www.port80software.com/support/p80tools. For example, google.com saves 64% in file size by using HTTP compression and is 2.7 times faster for it (http://www.port80software.com/support/tools/compresscheck?url=http://ww w.google.com).

However, that sounds like it would be worth looking into.
