Dynamic compression doesn't seem to be used in IIS 7.5

Question

I currently have both static and dynamic compression configured. The static compression is working, however the dynamic compression, when checked through YSlow and Fiddler, is not working.

In my applicationHost.config, I have the following settings:

<urlCompression doStaticCompression="true" doDynamicCompression="true"
    dynamicCompressionBeforeCache="true" />
<httpCompression directory="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files"
    maxDiskSpaceUsage="100" minFileSizeForComp="256">
    <scheme name="gzip" dll="%Windir%\system32\inetsrv\gzip.dll"
        dynamicCompressionLevel="1" />
    <dynamicTypes>
        <add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" />
        <add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true" />
        <add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true" />
        <add mimeType="*/*" enabled="true" />
    </dynamicTypes>
    <staticTypes>
        <add mimeType="text/*" enabled="true" />
        <add mimeType="message/*" enabled="true" />
        <add mimeType="application/x-javascript" enabled="true" />
        <add mimeType="application/atom+xml" enabled="true" />
        <add mimeType="application/xaml+xml" enabled="true" />
        <add mimeType="*/*" enabled="true" />
    </staticTypes>
</httpCompression>
<serverRuntime frequentHitThreshold="1" frequentHitTimePeriod="01:00:00" />

My web.config has:

<urlCompression doStaticCompression="true"
    doDynamicCompression="true" dynamicCompressionBeforeCache="true" />

The modules are installed, and when I use the Failed Request Trace, I get a couple dynamic compression hits, but nothing about success or failure. Just these types of results:

ModuleName DynamicCompressionModule 
Notification 536870912 
fIsPostNotification false 
Notification SEND_RESPONSE 

ModuleName DynamicCompressionModule 
Notification 536870912 
fIsPostNotificationEvent false 
NotificationStatus 0 
Notification SEND_RESPONSE 
NotificationStatus NOTIFICATION_CONTINUE 

ModuleName DynamicCompressionModule 
Notification 256 
fIsPostNotification true  
Notification RELEASE_REQUEST_STATE 

ModuleName DynamicCompressionModule 
Notification 256 
fIsPostNotificationEvent true 
NotificationStatus 0 
Notification RELEASE_REQUEST_STATE 
NotificationStatus NOTIFICATION_CONTINUE 

I am trying to get my aspx files to compress. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are you sure you have Dynamic Compression installed in IIS? By default, it is not installed on Server 2008 (or R2). Try this article: http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.webServer/urlCompression
