Thanks, but that's from 2009 and isn't entirely relavent. Those stats are for incoming requests that don't specify that they accept gzip, not that they can't use it. Often this is caused by proxies stripping headers from the request. I remember reading an article, I believe by Google, about using browser sniffing instead of encoding headers to determine if gzip should be used. I can't find it now but the conclusion was that it's almost entirely safe to use gzip 100% of the time.
