Apparently this was done as it’s easy to acheive the same thing using mod_deflate on Apache.

The problem is that my host uses Apache 1.3 and also doesn’t have mod_gzip installed so I had no choice but to do this in PHP.

Fortunately I came across this plugin that re-enables gzipping of pages saving me bandwidth and my visitors downloading time.
