I'm finding a lot over process on our server utilizing the gzip commands which results in our 24 core CPU server spiking to 100% (across all 24 cores). We are considering using installing a gzip compression / uncompression hardware card to offload ALL gzip command processes to this card.
Has anyone else used such a card, if so any benefits to it/cautions against it?
The device we are thinking of using is an AHA compression card, if it matters.
