Hello, at what page size does it no longer make sense to use
mod_deflate would you say?

Thanks Sean, There's also the zip/unzip time to consider.
Apparently there are 9 compression levels. Much difference between them?

If mod_deflate uses the same compression as gzip, then the test I just did
on some small files indicates maybe about 100-120 bytes is the break even
point.
-spc (smaller than that, and the compression overhead makes the resulting
file larger ... )
