Does DiscountASP support IIS compression?

I have an app that uses ASP.Net AJAX - and the javascript files are pretty big.I'm hoping that discountASP supports IIS compression, so thatI can reduce download times for these files over slow connections.

Thanks, Yogi

 

IIS compression is not supported. Although it is a cool feature, more bandwidth for the price , there is the CPU overhead to consider. So for a web server hosting many sites with the possibility ofmost using the feature, there's just to much of a penalty.

How about compression of static content - specifically of CSS and javascript files? Its the download times for these files that are killing me, as my aspx pages are rather fast. Its my understanding that compression of static content on the server will happen only the first time (and then cached), which means that CPU utilization should not be a problem any more.
