Doesn't Opera Mini or Turbo already provide this sevice? Perhaps add PPMD proxy text compression with an English dictionary with a JavaScript browser plugin on top of that. You can't get more efficient than that

Maybe, but asking someone to use a new browser is asking a lot. If you like, you can think of this as Opera minifier/turbofier as a service.
