how much overhead would you think that chunked gzip encoding creates? factor 3 sounds realistic? that's what i am experiencing at least 🙂

Compared to what ?
b
compared to writing the response without gzip compression (i am talking about the server side)

respondTextWriter
function) .. takes about 20 secs end to end .. when i add the header -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" which adds gzip compression it takes about 60 seconds
