Having run beta tests for almost three months on dominoExperts.com and other pre-beta testers it is now time to do the final public beta.
I would like more testers to post their experiences with the compression and caching features.

Domino Accelerator Pack is a DSAPI filter that GZip’s and caches Domino content making your Web applications perform faster and transmit faster over the network.
DAP works as a DSAPI filter that sits between the HTTP stack and the Domino server engine. It will cache and compress content going out from the server - reducing server load and reducing bandwith usage. Standard HTTP/1.1 caching headers are used to set up the caching and compression rules.
Cached content will be delivered directly from memory without Domino having to render the content again. The GZip compression will reduce Domino web pages with 70-75% depending on content type.
DAP keeps a GZip-cache of recently compressed content saving CPU time when the compression engine does not have to work all the time.
DAP uses a “Smart Cache” that will try to cache content Domino see as un-cacheable. This avoids retransmissions of entire pages that has not changed.
