yes turn it on if your host supports it and has php compilied with zlib support
what it does is compresses text on your pages on the fly and reduces bandwidth transfers and speeds up loading of your web page - your visitors don't notice the difference except for faster page loading times
i.e. i had a 260kb text intensive page compressed to just 16kb
also do not set gzip in vB admin panel any higher than 1:: Always Back Up Forum Database + Attachments BEFORE upgrading !

but gzip compression is optimal at level 1, any higher only consumes more cpu resources without any or little gain in reducation/compression of page size:: Always Back Up Forum Database + Attachments BEFORE upgrading !
