I use level 1, but does it help if i have a REALLY big forum with 250 users online all the time to have it higher then 1?

1 is the recommended setting, any higher and you could encounter some strange errors.

GZIP at level 1 will do the best compression, with the least ammount of cpu work. Everything over level 1 (2-9) only adds an additional .1-1% of compression. :)

gzip @ 1 == good
gzip @ 9 == stupid and crashing the server

Just keep it at 1 for the best results :)
