Jeremy,
What I meant is, if you use a sendfile system call to send raw files from the disk, how does this interact with gzip compression, which clearly cannot be used when using a sendfile call? I ask because you implied there were significant performance gains from using sendfile.
I guess you can either gzip the file to another temporary one and sendfile the temporary gz one (even maybe cache it) or abandon sendfile and stream out a gzip of file contents. The former could be more performant. Regards, -- Nicolas Pouillard http://nicolaspouillard.fr
