Details

While the rather stalled bug 445041 wants to have Tinderbox create a static json.js.gz, the way that most people would deal with the desire to serve something gzipped is just to enable mod_deflate, and tell Apache to "AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript"

mod_deflate will add some server load, but, during busy times /Firefox/json.js runs around 3-4MB, and with a less than perfect connection I can't download that fast enough to beat the tinderboxpushlog 2 minute refresh, when I start downloading another, and then another, and then another simultaneous copy. Since most of json.js is thousands of "-1", it ought to be pretty darn compressible.

Down to 3MB today, but now it's just a couple hundred KB over the wire. Thanks!
