Could you compress output using the PHP option for scripts, cache static
files on the webserver side + compression, fast-cgi for PHP?  

I have found eaccelerator does for me exactly what you are asking for.
It is an opcode cacher that I use with fast-cgi and lighttpd..  if you
are using fast-cgi, make sure to only spawn one process, and any number
of children.

It will use PHP output in a compiled state to execute phpbb, send it to
your webserver which could compress the html output to the client, and
serve other static files not provided by the PHP process in a compressed
and cached state..

might help...
