I see in my Bluehost Cpanel there is an option for "compress" for each file. Should I hit it??????

Are you actually *using* CSS buttons on your site? If not, delete the stylesheet_css_buttons.css file.
If you really think your stylesheets need to be compressed, there are several forum threads talking about methods you could use to do it if your webserver supports it. It may or may not even be necessary.
And, no, using cPanel to compress the file is not enough in itself.

All the other stuff is wordpress or wordpress-addon stuff, not Zen Cart stuff.

Would it really be worth any of it to save 27K? Is that a lot?
