Your suggestion that compressing data on your laptop (with a relatively modern CPU) is a comparable benchmark for running compression on old servers isn't

I've just tested it on an old box I have a Celeron 1.3 GHZ CPU (an outdated box bought 8 years ago) with WinXP on it and a bunch of programs running and it toke me less than 1 second to compress 200 KB file.

someone taking ten minutes out of their day to implement your untested change, which may take longer to recover from should the resulting performance be unfavourable.

As I have stated, recovery is as easy as commenting off 1 line and restarting Apache ... and I've never seen anyone able to test changes without implementing it in the first place.
