The hack is effective even with GZIP enabled. The hack is removing certain characters from your source code so making it smaller in size. Since your hacked page's source code is now smaller, the gzipped outcome of it will be smaller then the gzipped outcome of unhacked page. The hack is using completely a different algorithm than GZIP to save bandwidth so you can not say it is redundant with GZIP.

If you ZIPed a Microsoft Word document, would it be redundant to remove a few pages of the original document just because you ZIPed? If you remove some pages before the compression, the ZIPed outcome will become smaller, it is simple aritmetic.

But you don't agree, please uninstall it. It is not mandatory to use it..
