Thank you all for replying.

I have no idea. All I know (and not even for sure) is that internet 
usage on keitais is charged by packets. I'm putting together a web site 
for viewing on mobile phones, and I just want to keep down the HTTP 
requests and data sizes as much as possible so as not to upset potential 
viewers by increasing their phone bill more than necessary.

Just HTML, CSS, and in rare cases when necessary, images.

I do all I can to keep down requests and size in any case. But, I was 
wondering if this gzipping process, to make one request and possibly 
compress the data further, could make any significant contribution to 
streamlining things. Every saved byte helps when it comes to mobile phones.
