XMLRPC uses HTTP.  HTTP specifies content-encoding: gzip
and accept-encoding: gzip

mod_gzip supplies both dynamic and static encoding of
content to gzip-capable clients.  i'm a big fan of it.
don't know if your clients send accept-encoding gzip,
but they should if they have any kind of feature bloat
at all. :)
