I simply added an .htaccess file containing 'AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml' and instantly saw a significant improvement (e.g. 101 KB reduced to 36 KB). A simple 2 minute job that I wish I had done ages ago! ;-) Thanks Kalid – exactly what I was looking for, and very well explained.
