First of all, question was more "how to do", and not "why to do". Anyway, there can be two reasons: - You might reduce stress on busy disks because of smaller transferes. And more buffering before transfer. - One step into bandwidth saving towards the client. Although, in general you are correct. But in case of caching a lot of textual stuff, it could be a possibility, because you can get a high compression rate, effectively doubling your storage, even more, may be. -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/Cache-compression-tp4659954p4659982.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
