    Hi,

    We are using mod_deflate for the compression using apache. We want to know what is the default compression level. Apache document says it is Zlib's default level. What could be the Zlib's default value ?

    Could you please help me regarding?

    Thanks

    Zlib's compression levels range from 1 (best speed) to 9 (best compression). Based on the Zlib manual (http://www.zlib.net/manual.html) the default compression level is set to 6.
