[Mod_gzip] Re: Antwort: mod_gzip v. mod_deflate

[Stephen Pierzchala]

Ok...interesting implementation bug time! It appears that setting 
"DeflateMemLevel 9" when using mod_deflate actually INCREASES the file size!

The optimal setting for this directive, in the testing I have done, 
appears to be "DeflateMemLevel 8".

Example #1

Deflate Level		Byte Size
----------------------------------
	1		5520
	2		4993
	3		4719
	4		4589
	5		4521
	6		4500
	7		4488
	8		4473
	9		4483


Example #2
----------
http://www.pierzchala.com/compress/homepage2.html -- 56380 bytes

Deflate Level		Byte Size
----------------------------------
	1		25411
	2		22503
	3		21649
	4		20568
	5		20129
	6		20009
	7		19914
	8		19818
	9		19898
