[squid-users] Re: Cache compression

First of all, question was more "how to do", and not "why to do".
Anyway, there can be two reasons:
- You might reduce stress on busy disks because of smaller transferes. And
more buffering before transfer.
- One step into bandwidth saving towards the client.

Although, in general you are correct. But in case of caching a lot of
textual stuff, it could be a possibility, because you can get a high
compression rate, effectively doubling your storage, even more, may be.
