Google is already compressed so rabbit does not care about it.
If you snoop the traffic you will see that.
Rabbit currently think that compressed pages are pages that
some other person have tried to minimize so the possible gain of
unpacking, filtering and repacking is not worth it.

No. One have to be very careful about what to compress, many
browsers (read firefox/mozilla and IE do not like compressed
javascript even if they indicate that they do) .

No, not now. This is a feature that many want, but it is not
trivial to get a good metric.

Again no. Perhaps I will add a recieved/sent information, many people 
want it.
How would latency be computed? Most data is streamed
through rabbit so the cost is very small. Images however are first fully
downloaded then converted then sent.
