Simple Compression Question

For this particular use case that's the burning question: how utilized is your backend to the nginx farm? Are the systems all locally connected or is there WAN involved as mentioned above? It's pretty rare to see saturation on the back end these days so I'm curious to home in on your specific concerns here. The CPU hit of compress/decompress on the backside is likely going to bite you before the network will, at least in most cases.
