That's a good info indeed, however AFAIK, only zlib decompression uses optimized SSE 4.2 CRC32. AVX and AVX2 are not used at all. It might be still some instruction not supported by the processor.
BTW, gzip decompression is not used by IntraWeb. Only compression.
It is something questionable that people are using very old processors in servers supposed to run web applications, though. Core i3, i5 and i7 from 2008 already supported SSE 4.2 instructions. Trying to make a brand new IW application run in a 486 DX2/66 MHz doesn't make any sense to me
