Its no a trivial undertaking.
Here is a link:

Bottom line: If you want EVERY single surfer to see it, even with 10 year old damaged browsers, you will need an alternate link like "Click here if your browser is a piece of shit".
Why not break your huge page into multiples?
If your load time is crtical, you cannot reduce the pagesize, your users are dialup, and 150K is text (sounds messed up to me), and you can live with 1% or 2% not being able to read it, compression is worth trying.... MAYBE.
