And yet from performance perspective, is much less
efficient than tag minimization (or selective
compression using somewhat markup-specific/optimized
schemed); at least if we are talking about general
purpose compression like deflate... at least if one
considers actual throughput -- although it saves
network bandwidth, comp/decompression is a cpu hog.
Content compression, specifically, often provides no
throughput improvement at all. Name canonicalization
and indexing on the other hand has impact as easy to
implement.
