IIRC, ra_neon is using a compressor too (native svndiff stuff with the
base64/XML-escaping) - so, it's not quite fair to say that neon isn't
doing pretty much the same thing...just in a different code path that
isn't controlled by mod_deflate. So, I think you need to compare
apples-to-apples. -- justin
