@msznapka : +1
This type of technologies is similiar to google page speed / page optimiser that they released a few months ago. It sounds great but it did kill my servers by compressing the code, html and such at request time.
I switched to pre-combination and minification of the CSS and JS using a combination of Yahoo and Google compilers as well as some custom tools and it worked much better !

Plus php performance will likely be lesser than the Google compiler solution unless the php opcode is cached.

So anybody looking for a silver bullet better start doing it themselves as these kind of framework is a no go for high traffic websites. But good tentative nonetheless.

I used minify (http://code.google.com/p/minify/) and it works awesome – same concept.

I preffer to compress/pack javascript/css and send in the same page.
Compressing javascript ou css using gzip cause problem with IE6.

The better solution is to minify, join and gzip JavaScript and CSS files during building or deploying the project, not with some PHP script which slows your HTTP response. I am using YUI Compressor maven plugin.

From my tests, gzipping HTML result during HTTP response is additional load to server, moreover with lot of requesting clients. And that is not good way.
