It doesn't try to compress anything, it's up to you to compress
files you think is ok to compress. The gzip_static just checks if
a '.gz' file present, and returns it to client if it's present
(and client supports gzip).

If you want to avoid file lookup, you may (and probably should)
disable gzip_static for locations you don't want lookup to happen.
