The HTTP/1.1 protocol supports sending gzipped content to speed up page loads. We should take advantage of this. Ideas on where to start can be found [via various sources online](http://www.diveintopython.net/http_web_services/gzip_compression.html). This should be done as a urllib handler if at all possible, allowing maximum portability.
