A new Apache 1.3.37 is out and I had to upgrade all my servers to it, in the process I've had to compile mod_deflate, a high performance compression module that works MUCH faster then mod_gzip. This is primarily thanks to the fact it does not use temporary files, but instead does everything in memory. Since the official mod_deflate package has been abandoned by its author, even though the code still works with a few minor tweaks. So, I've decided to post a patched version of this module for all interested Apache 1.3.37 users.
You can download it here:

The package also includes a short README files that explains how to install this module on your server. For people too lazy to read the README, the instructions follow at the bottom of this blog entry
