Yes, because increasing server load by a factor of 100 (for stuff that could be updated semi frequently) could be a good thing.
It has uses (and it's old news), but it doesn't really apply to us much.
-
That's why I didn't post in Features :P
-
Heh, well it is interesting in itself and there are times and ways it will be useful but I think those are rather few and far between :(
-
I can see its use in CDNs where the content is fairly static.
-
But that's something that the CDN would typically manage transparently, no?
-
Yes of course, and that's really good news for jQuery distribution, among other things... Another kilobyte saved :)
There are two PHP implementations so far:
https://github.com/kjdev/php-ext-zopfli
https://github.com/clickalicious/php_zopfli
May the best one win!
Couldn't find a compiled DLL for local tests though, so I guess it'll have to wait... (And yes, I'm not against adding support for zopfli in Wess, as long as low-iteration passes have similar performance to gzip -9 and still save more bytes.)
