Couldn't you implement it for all files greater than 64K?

  Yes, but that would not make sense. CloudFlare is very close to end users (single digit milliseconds) and gzip is fast and gives good compression. What we can't afford to do is make a file smaller at the cost of increased latency because the compression time was longer. There's a trade off between compression time and delivery time. So, Brotli makes sense for things we cache (because we can compress out of band) and for large files delivered over slow connections but is not a panacea.

    You can even keep cached files in ram with brotli to save ram. Nvm you'd need 3 versions then.
