You did read my comment about using GZip compression, right? GZip is
*really* good at compressing sequences of identical characters. I'd be
deeply surprised if the effect of introducing large blocks of
whitespace into a GZip compressed HTML stream was any more than a
rounding error. It should also be *much* more effective, and involve
less computational load, than the effect of running a regex over your
page to extract whitespace (which is all spaceless is doing).
