GZip on Apache 2

[Andreas]

As far as I can see there are 3 ways to do GZip compression on Apache 2:


Using vB's built in GZip feature
Using PHP zlib.output_compression
Using mod_deflate


I think I prefer method 3, as this would also compress HTML, JavaScript, CSS and so on.

But I wonder which one gives the best performance?

i think mod_deflate will cuase some problems with attachments and IE

How can I get this compression?
