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 ?

[bitkid]

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

[bitkid]

so i make a request which returns about 500mb of data (written with the

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
