It looks like the file has been re-compressed on the pro site. Do you
have server-side compression enabled?
I've never done that, though. But you know what I mean, gzipping content
or something before sending it to the browser (I read through some
comments about it a long time ago). Hosting providers use it to reduce
bandwith.
It's not *the* solution, but maybe it'll help anyway.
Say, shouldn't it be on thelist instead?
You owe a non-tip :)
