[Zope] XMLRPC:XML Compressors - anybody experienced it?

I use a slightly modified version of Fredrik Lundh's xmlrpclib.py module
that will often use zlib compression to compress responses.  Running over a
wide area network such as the Internet I've seen speedups of as much as
5-to-1.  Instructions and my current version of xmlrpclib.py are available
from my Python Bits page:

I believe it is a drop-in replacement for Zope's version, though note that
my code has other mods as well (in particular, it specifies the encoding as
Latin-1 for all requests and responses).  You should compare it with the
versions distributed with Zope or by PythonWare to decide what changes you
want to incorporate in your own system.
