Is anyone use content compression for their moodle install? Does it help with moodle performance at all?
What's the difference between PHP and Apache content compression?
I'm aware of enable content compression would increase CPU load, but on the other hand, it should improve the moodle performance in theory if we can use either compression method, at least improve the bandwidth.
Yes you can use mod_gzip in Apache with great results.
It does create a little extra CPU load but if you can support that then do it!
I don't recommend PHP compression, that would require modification to Moodle itself.

Yes, people have reported of savings in network traffic, see for example http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=101156
