You can pre-gzip, or cache the gzipped version; some servers do; in fact storing the gzipped version and occasionally uncompressing it for clients that cant do compression is much more efficient than the reverse as uncompressing is much faster.

You can store both on disk, apache at least, will figure out if the client can handle gzipped content and will send the compressed version when possible.

But doing cache in this way sort of defeats the argument. Why would one cache a gzip copy instead of minified or minified+gipped? And minified alone is more efficient than gzip and can work regardless of client preference.
The argument here is why not simply use gzip and not use minification at all.

Same for nginx, using the gzip_static module: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gzip_static_module.ht...
