Adding gzip compression to PHP is easy, but since Bugzilla is written in PERL
this is much harder to do.

The preferred way is if the Bugzilla codebase supported it natively. I am
against having our Bugzilla tree deviate to far from the main Bugzilla code. On
a quick look, it does not look like our version has any support for it.

Another possible way to do it would to be to enable the Apache2 mod_deflate to
the bugzilla virtual server. But, I'd want to know the ramifications of that
before going down that path. I'm not even sure mod_deflate will work with
anything other than static content.

Somebody else will have to assist and do the legwork as I do not have the time
right now to research this more in depth.
