It is slower... wikipedia:
Under default settings, the output of Zopfli is typically 3–8% smaller than zlib's maximum compression, but takes around 80 times longer.
Whitenoise already adds a considerable overhead to deploys by doing so much work compressing up front, in serial (often including third party files that aren't served). I wouldn't want to slow it down further for savings when Brotli is already supported, and widely supported by browsers.
It could perhaps be an option, but I'd like to see more evidence that it's really desirable.
Is zopfli
really the official library? It only has 12 stars, doesn't seem to be so popular.

Agreed, there's a tradeoff here. I doubt it's worthwhile for large files. I just wanted to make sure you were aware it exists. Unfortunately I don't have any data on .gz vs .br hit rates to share.

The only other one I've found is pyzopfli which appears unmaintained. IIRC I selected zopfli
because it:
- Provides wheels
- Appeared to be maintained by Googlers (like Zopfli itself), though this no longer seems to be the case

Okay. I think the best course of action right now is to leave this open, and if others show support for the feature then we can look into it.
