I think I got something. The Content-Length reported by ab for Apache  
is 4K, and for Nginx is 19K, so my guess is that compression is not  
being triggered. If I use wget content is not compressed either. But  
it comes compressed if I use Firefox.

That would explain the difference. I will try another stress tool then.
