[Zope] apache 2, mod_deflate, mod_fastcgi, zope 2.7: something's slow.

Zope's "gzip" support is enabled (for a single request) by
calling "RESPONSE.enableHTTPCompression" in that request.

You have all request headers and the full power of Python available
to dertermine when you want to call it (this gives you more power
than you have in Apache).

>(Also, I have static content on the site that can benefit from mod_deflate.)

If "static content" means "File/Image" objects, then their
so called "precondition" can get the "enableHTTPCompression".

Check beforehand, whether compression really saves something.
While I expect it for "bmp", I am not so sure for "jpg", e.g.
