Did you ever try this out?

Sounds like a benefit is the reducing of perceived excess content (like banner adds). this way the available bandwidth is better utilized. Also the "Transcoding provides the ability to change data on the fly in real time" sounds like it may change picture graphics resolution 9akak reduce) to further improve efficiency.



"What’s Banner Ad cutting?

Banner advertising is found on most commercial sites. These images take bandwidth and time to transfer. Removing banner ads can decrease page load time up to 50%. These ads have become an overwhelming part of some sites with as many as 10 ads on a single page"
