to gzip css and js on the fly, enable mod_deflate and add to your apache config or .htaccess: AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript application/x-javascript text/css
(the correct mimetype for js is application/javascript but older versions of apache serve it as application/x-javascript)

If you are using shared hosting such as Dreamhost, you're probably already compressing your css/js files. Check the headers for them in Firebug.
If it's being compressed, one of the header lines will be:
Content-encoding: gzip
Edit: I just checked and my site had stopped compressing, which wasn't previously the case. Just add this to the bottom of the root .htaccess file for your Drupal site, at the end. It ought to do the trick.

mod_gzip or mod-deflate Both
mod_gzip or mod-deflate
Both apache modules are compressing the the request stream, but this is not the same as compressing CSS Files.
Compressing CSS Files reduze the files size. It is completly different.
