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.
