[rescue] Sun 711

That's the thing. We do use LZW compression, but I think streaming it at a
high enough rate would be very CPU intensive.

Don't forget, I am just the sysadmin. I only know what I have picked up by
osmosis.

Strickly speaking, compression != lossy compression.  Practically, I don't
know that gziping every frame would help enough, and or be fast enough.
