+ Compressing the data more takes usually longer than compressing
+ it less or not compressing it at all. Which level is best depends
+ on the connection between Privoxy and the client. If you can't
+ be bothered to benchmark it for yourself, you should stick with
+ the default and keep compression disabled.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ If compression is disabled, the compression level is irrelevant.

+ compression-level 9
+ # No compression. Only useful for testing as the added header

+ # If your benchmark shows that using this compression level
+ # is superior to using no compression at all, the benchmark
+ # is likely to be flawed.
