From the bug at Bugzilla, I thought Brotli looked even more interesting since it balanced ratio (somewhere in between lzma and gzip) with speeds better than I thought LZMA did, at least with the importance of speed with web servers, and I think using the right tool for the job is a good idea here: https://github.com/google/brotli

An interesting idea though. With cached lzma files, it would be more of a pure win for lzma, but I wonder what the real world results/use would actually be and how much web hosts would generally enjoy this idea.
