>From php.ini:

Enabling output buffering typically results in less writes, and sometimes
less packets sent on the wire, which can often lead to better performance. 
The gain this directive actually yields greatly depends on which Web server
you're working with, and what kind of scripts you're using.

Output compression in return reduces load on the wire but increases load on
the server.
