Enable gzip compression on the CSS file about googlefontdirectory HOT 1 CLOSED

Actually, this was a conscious decision on our part. In general, gzip 
compression can save bandwidth, but generally for larger payloads, and the CSS 
is generally in the range of 200 bytes. According to the recommendations on the 
Page Speed documentation:

http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/payload.html

Note that gzipping is only beneficial for larger resources. Due to the overhead 
and latency of compression and decompression, you should only gzip files above 
a certain size threshold; we recommend a minimum range between 150 and 1000 
bytes. Gzipping files below 150 bytes can actually make them larger.

We have set our threshold at 500 bytes, so generally any CSS request for 3 or 
more fonts will trigger the gzip compression.

Thanks for your interest!
