Enable GZIP support on Heroku
So, I was working in a project with about 2MB of assets being loaded everytime without a good cache and this, my good friend, isn't cool. I was almost writing a Rack Middleware to handle this, when I found the heroku-deflater

group :production do
gem 'heroku-deflater'
end
This will gzip every asset (except images) and (really) improve your application assets' load time.
