I tried gzipping my static site up front on maximal compression levels. Google the `gzip_static` directive.
It doesn't make a noticable difference, but it's fun.

Gzip compression benefits taper off in benefit after the "7" setting, IIRC. Brotli at higher settings compresses better, but you'd want to do it static as opposed to on the fly (at higher/highest settings)
I'm curious if brotli's decompression is still fast on high compression levels. This is the case for gzip IIRC.
Yes, it's optimized for fast decompression. Compression, on the other hand, is comparatively expensive. This trade-off makes Brotli very interesting for static assets.
