+   <para>
+    More and more websites send their content compressed by default, which
+    is generally a good idea and saves bandwidth. But the <literal><link
+    linkend="filter">filter</link></literal> and
+    <literal><link linkend="deanimate-gifs">deanimate-gifs</link></literal>
+    actions need access to the uncompressed data.
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    When compiled with zlib support (available since &my-app; 3.0.7), content that should be
+    filtered is decompressed on-the-fly and you don't have to worry about this action.
+    If you are using an older &my-app; version, or one that hasn't been compiled with zlib
+    support, this action can be used to convince the server to send the content uncompressed.
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    Most text-based instances compress very well, the size is seldom decreased by less than 50%,
+    for markup-heavy instances like news feeds saving more than 90% of the original size isn't
+    unusual.
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    Not using compression will therefore slow down the transfer, and you should only
+    enable this action if you really need it. As of &my-app; 3.0.7 it's disabled in all
+    predefined action settings.
+   </para>
+   <para>
+    Note that some (rare) ill-configured sites don't handle requests for uncompressed
+    documents correctly. Broken PHP applications tend to send an empty document body,
+    some IIS versions only send the beginning of the content. If you enable
+    <literal>prevent-compression</literal> per default, you might want to add
+    exceptions for those sites. See the example for how to do that.
