[Yanel-dev] Enable GZIP Compression in Tomcat

[Michael Wechner]

Hi Balz

That's a lot smaller indeed, thanks for pointing this out!

I could imagine that this makes a difference in the case of a release of

subscribers may access the website all at "once", because of a
newsletter notification.

All the best

Michael
