Hi,

http://www.horde.org/horde/docs/?f=PERFORMANCE.html

recommends PHP output compression.

However, if IMP was used, the compression may mess up the Content-Length:
header used by the download/inline display of attachments. This is because
the resultant file size being download is actually smaller than that of
what is presented in Content-Length.

This may cause the client download to continue to anticipate more data
from the web server when download has actually completed. In such a
situation, the browser will appear to "hang".
