54.8 Enabling Web Server Data Compression

By enabling data compression on your Web server, you can increase performance for all WebAccess
users. However, because this is a change to the configuration of your Web server, it affects all
programs that interact with the Web server. A side effect of enabling data compression might be a
decline in Web server scalability.
