i don't know about the performance loss
but the hex numbers you get are just what
you requested

by sending a HTTP/1.1 request you have
declared that you are willing to 'speak'
HTTP/1.1, and the HTTP/1.1 RFC 2616, 
Section 3.6 defines:

[...]
All HTTP/1.1 applications MUST be able to receive 
and decode the "chunked" transfer-coding,
[...]

What should happen:
==================
The script is meant to create a printer-friendly version of a ski resort
review page that is produced dynamically. It does this by opening a
socket connection to the url, including the query, and read the contents
of that url line by line looking for <!-- START CONTENTS --> and <!--
END CONTENTS --> tags. It echoes whatever is between those tags.

What does happen:
================
The script works except for two issues.
1) In between some of the paragraphs of text some garbage hex numbers
appear. They are always in the same place and the first two bytes are
always the same.
2) The script runs extremely slowly which is attributed completely to
the fsockopen() function.

It should be noted that by simply replacing the fsockopen with fopen()
the problems disappeared without any other changes to the code.

Extraction from the Script that fails:
=====================================
<?
<snip>
$fp=fsockopen($myServer,80,&$errno,&$errstr,30);

$request = "GET $document"."?"."$query"." HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$request .= "Host: $myServer\r\n\r\n";

if(!$fp) {
  echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n";
} else {
  fputs($fp,$request);
  $content=0;
  $in_title=0;
?>
</snip>
<snip>
<?
  while(!feof($fp)) {
    $line=fgets($fp,4096);

    if(ereg($START_CONT,$line)) {
        $content=1;
    }
    if(ereg($END_CONT,$line)) $content=0;
    if($content==1)echo $line;
}
fclose($fp);
?>

Extraction from working script:
==============================
<snip>
<?
$fp=fopen($myURL,r); //in place of fsockopen()
// $request lines no longer required, removed.
?>
</snip>
