Which type of compression performs better?

I am currently working on an app that uses Gzip encoder it works pretty well but what i want to know is if i remove the gzip encoder will the standard IIS 7 compression work any faster than the Gzip encoder?

the compression is currently done on the client side and the webservice

thanks

There is one good article on IIS7 compression which tells about its performance

http://weblogs.asp.net/owscott/archive/2009/02/22/iis-7-compression-good-bad-how-much.aspx

secondly on msdn it is written that "Compression of dynamic application responses can affect CPU resources because IIS does not cache compressed versions of dynamic output. "

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771003(WS.10).aspx

Please check these factors and compare your cpu usage when you are using gzip compression and iis7 compression
