I don't know much about the technical side of things, but as someone studying SEO and UX this seems like a huge win. Not only by cutting down on page load size / speed but so much better fo rUX.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of developers suddenly cried out in terror...

Joking aside it is usually a win to reduce page load sizes from a speed and bandwidth point of view (which on a heavily tracked site can add significantly to costs) occasionally you have to be careful as some of the compression methods result in non-standard or "technically standard but the client doesn't really do it that way" files which can render corrupted or more slowly.
