I know that IIS allows you to compress the files being server. Any idea what the compression ratio is?
Thanks!

Compression always depends heavily on what you’re compressing. An HTML file will shrink considerably more than a JPEG file, for instance.
Furthermore, both the server and the web browser must support a compression method in order for this compression method to be used in a HTTP transfer. gzip and deflate are the most common (see this page). The compression ratio depends on which method is used and also the actual data being compressed.
