In certain scenarios (especially over slow Internet connections), enabling compression can improve application performance.

To enable compression, the HTTP Configuration File (/www/profoundui/conf/httpd.conf) must be modified.  At the top of the file, add this line:

LoadModule deflate_module /QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRCORE.SRVPGM

Then, add the following lines above the existing DirectoryMatch directives:

<Location / > SetOutputFilter DEFLATE </Location>

The HTTP Server must then be restarted.  See here.
