I've just visited the Statistics page of this forum and I've seen that the gzip compression is OFF.

Doesn't is better to use it?
(It's in the Administration Panel -> General Admin -> Configuration)

gzip compression will save disk space but wear down on the CPU more as far as I know. More CPU usage is the last thing the forum server needs these days.

It saves bandwidth.
The disk space?

I was thinking that gzip compression was used between the db application and the disk. I don't know how it could be used between the db app and the webserver or between the webserver and the client without requiring lots more cpu on the server.

Yes, it takes more CPU.
