HTTP compression methods

I wonder if anyone has evaluated the zlib compression feature in the
Windows version of PHP (enabled by setting zlib.output_compression in
php.ini) and compared it with the performance of the builtin HTTP
Compression in Microsoft's Internet Information Server.

I found a discussion on this very list back in 2004, in which the
statement was made that zlib compression is dangerous because of
browsers that don't interpret the compressed data correctly. I wonder
if this situation is different now, since buggy browsers such as
Netscape 4 are hardly ever used any more.
