Yeah, cause bandwidth is limited to 1Mbit/s. 

And as u said, it is worth to add load on processor. I'm NOT sure how to
estimate how much bandwidth can be freed from this option.

My case:
1) I don't have many mail list users right now.
2) main bandwidth is occupied by FTP/http/Git,CVS repositoy.
3) There are 5 laptop, accessing internet with this router.

Any suggestion on this gzip option? Should I use this option right now?
