Is gzip compression useful for mobile devices?
- by Savageman
Hi SO,
I'm wondering if anyone has a clue on whether the gzip compression is as much useful on mobile devices than it is on a desktop computer.
Will the phone use more battery?
Or will it save some because of the bandwidth saving?
Will the page page load faster or is the uncompress process slow on those limited devices?
Does the compressed data actually reach the end-user or is it uncompressed somewhere by the 3G provider? (this may be a stupid question, sorry).
Thank you.
