I checked the response with this little 2 liner we're discussing in the IO 
blocking thread, and the ouput is principially the same as a PHP-gzip- 
output-buffering response. I can't tell any difference, only the compressed 
data itself changes of course, and the chunk-byte-size of course...

No, it doesn't. Seems working to me. See above.
