Try it for yourself. Get an example file and hand-optimize it to remove the whitespace and compress it. Compare that to the size of the compressed file without the whitespace removed. You will most likely find that the size difference after compression is neglible. > 2) Is it true that ob_start("ob_gzhandler") can cause problems on IE 5.5+? It should be fine. -Rasmus
