A system and method are disclosed for leveraging bandwidth and processor utilization to advantageously influence response time performance. The objective of such leveraging is to maximize transaction throughput (e.g., requests per second) between a pair of servers when the servers are connected through less than optimal networks and/or network connections. Such an optimization is accomplished by determining whether or not adjusting request and/or reply sizes by applying a compression factor (i.e., to facilitate compression) will have a desirable influence on response time performance. Such determination is based on decision criteria including, but are not limited to, network protocol performance, CPU utilization, bandwidth utilization, and estimates of the CPU time and network time costs of sending compressed verses uncompressed data.
