56kbps modem. But there are still a
lot of people who only have 28.8k or 33.6k modems.
The font changing code alone takes up almost 1/2 the size of the big index pages. Cutting a 100kB page to under 60kB will reduce its loading time from roughly (depending of the effect of compression) 20 secs to around 12 sec on a 33.6 connection, as well as taking lots of comms load off the server.
