Yeah, of course.

You have to set the limitation rules rightfully. These are:
mod_gzip_maximum_filesize and mod_gzip_maximum_inmem_size.
mod_gzip_maximum_inmem_size is hard-limited to max. 60kb,
mod_gzip_maximum_filesize can be set to every value you want. But
be aware, it can take a lot of time to compress big files on-the-fly.

Greetings,
 CK
