My build logs are generally > 1MB in size and I noticed that viewing
the log on the web server does not use gzip encoding. In the simple
test I did of one of my log files, it would have been a 95% savings in
size to gzip the file for transfer.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Transfer-encoding: chunked

Extra Comment :-

twisted's web server probably has a way to make this work..
I'll poke around.
