I was doing an seo audit on my site trying to tweek things up a bit and this is one of the things that seems to be slowing the page load , any idea how to implement this?

this looks like a good doc:

Let us know if you notice any difference.

Right now everything coming out of your JR site is gzipped except HTML. The reason the HTML is not gzipped is that when gzip compression is enabled the process cannot be "disconnected" from the client after it has sent it's data. Jamroom has to be able to disconnect from the client so the process can become a worker process to process queue entries.

This is something I've know about for a long time and will eventually workout a different method for spinning up worker processes, but that's a very big job that has not been started on yet.

Note that your speed should be pretty fast regardless of the gzipping of HTML however, since everything else (that is usually a lot bigger such as Javascript and CSS) is gzipped.

ohh it, is the speed is pretty fast but i am measuring up against a competitor website and they are beating us in speed but we still have a much higher score. i got a 77 out of 100 so that is not terrible. Just looking at any thing we can do to make it even better.

Yep I hear you - I've got the work needed on my todo list, but it's kind of "big job" so it will likely be a Core 6.2 or 6.3 feature.

I wanted to follow up on this with some (hopefully) good news - I was looking into this earlier to get an idea of the work involved, and I got an idea of how to possibly make it work without a lot changes. I've coded in the changes needed and it is working - so right now we are just testing it, but if everything goes good it will be in Core 6.1.7 - so coming soon hopefully :)
