I writting an application which is using WebClient class.

Adding something like that:

ExC.Headers.Add("Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate");

where ExC is:

class ExWebClient1 : WebClient
{

    protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address)
    {
        HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)base.GetWebRequest(address);
        request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate;

        return request;
    }
}

It will be a diffrence in speed when i will be using encoded response?
