compression

Hello

I have set up an aggressive static page caching system using Boost module, which I modified to build gzip compressed pages to speed up load times and be able to serve more pages in less time at cuentosparadormir.com. The system works fine with just a few thousand users in a typical shared hosting account, as the content is oriented mainly to anonymous users. Of course javascript and css files are aggregated and compressed (using smartcache module).

Have anyone tried a similar approach? what do you think the limits of such a set up could be, and what should be the next bottleneck I will face for these kind of sites? do you propose any other configuration to create a high performance drupal site in a shared hosting account?
