Comment(by caesarsgrunt):

 @Denis:[[BR]]
 When does the function {{{save_mod_rewrite_rules}}} which you've added the
 code into actually get run?

 Also, why not compress all content except images? We can use the sample
 code at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html (with some
 of the comments stripped out...) :
 {{{
 <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
   SetOutputFilter DEFLATE

   # Drop problematic browsers
   BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
   BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
   BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

   # Don't compress images
   SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \
   \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary

   # Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
   Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
 </IfModule>
 }}}
