I finished implementing chunked output buffering, and made ob_gzhandler()
compatible with it - so now chunked output compression is possible with
PHP. In my testing, supplying a 4KB buffer appears to be almost as
efficient (compression-ratio wise) as compressing the entire buffer in one
go. Obviously, it's much more efficient memory-wise.
For instance, a phpinfo() script:
no compression 40KB
ob_start("ob_gzhandler") 5KB
ob_start("ob_gzhandler", 4096) 5.5KB
ob_start("ob_gzhandler", 64) 10KB
Read: You can now efficiently have your outgoing PHP/HTTP traffic
compressed with good compression ratios without sacrificing memory.
Comments extremely welcome - and if people can also test it and let me know
whether it works for them, it'd be great.
