Are those sizes before or after gzip compression ?

  Before. A quick test by just zipping them up gave: html: 209kb swf: 205kb Does anyone know whether 'on the wire' gzip would give similar benefits?

    Two notes: 1. Zip uses a different algorithm than gzip - the results are not necessarily equivalent. 2. If the HTML is static, which seems to be the case (since it's generated manually from the SWF), you can pre-gzip them instead of forcing the server to do it on demand - that'll reduce latency and CPU usage. Therefore "on the wire" is not really relevant.

      Zip and gzip both use DEFLATE.
