Nothing was compressed: a request carrying Accept-Encoding got byte-identical bytes back. Measured here, the timeline page is 309,584 to 36,599 (88%), a ticket list 84%, a highlighted source page 92%.

gzip rather than brotli deliberately — brotli q5 beat gzip 6 on both size and time, but that is a dependency for ~7% on a page already 88% smaller. SSE is excluded by content type: 22 stream writers, and a buffered stream is a live update that never arrives. check-in: d598ecafa3 user: quarry tags: trunk
