If we were to enable gzip compression on the server for API calls would this have any effect on MPC's ability to display the results returned?

Since gzipped content must be requested by the client, I think the more accurate question is: Does the MPC currently request gzip'd content?  If not, could it?

The new Apache HTTPClient based transport (bug 484513) introduced in MPC 1.5.0 for Neon allows us to do that. 

I'll look into it for Neon.1, where I intend to make that the only available transport. 

One interesting question might be if this is a problem with server load and server-side timeouts when no cached results exist, as in bug 486946.
