Well, it's gotta be something to do with the gzip capabilities of Apache. Firefoxs numbers are way too low. I did a "wget" of the page with HELLCAT's compressor turned off and on, and the real data is 5x what firefox reports.
If you are using Gzip, the real difference is not going to be as big as you would think from looking at these numbers. And you are just trading off CPU utilization in mod_gzip for cpu utilization in Hellcat's compressor.
BUT, the resulting file is smaller at browswer, which is still a good thing.
