In response to Tom, setting "Allow listing of global file address book" to
false is not an option I am permitted to use by our management unless there
is a way to only list a subset of the Global Address Book (commonly emailed
addresses) while still being able to search the rest of it (which would
contain lesser used email addresses).

So far I have had no luck improving the time it takes the Global Address
Book to load across slow links using any of the following compression
methods:

1. In Apache 2.2.11's httpd.conf file: (apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES   #
deflate_module (static) is present)

            LoadModule deflate_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_deflate.so

            <Directory /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/webmail>
                  Options -Indexes
                  AllowOverride none
                  DirectoryIndex index.php
                  Order allow,deny
                  allow from all
                  SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
                  SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ \ no-gzip
dont-vary
                  SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI
\.(?:exe|t?gz|zip|bz2|sit|rar)$ \no-gzip dont-vary
                  SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.pdf$ no-gzip dont-var
            </Directory>

2. In PHP's php.ini file:

            zlib.output_compression = On

3. In a .htaccess file within the global address book directory:

            php_flag zlib.output_compression on

It looks like the only other options for me to try is either the SM gzip
plugin or going to a couple of PHP scripting classes and trying to make it
paginated using the abook_group_pagination plugin as a reference.

If anyone has any other suggestions or knows how to hack out the latter, I
would greatly appreciate it since the is the very last thing holding me
back from being able to put it in production.

Thanks much,
Derek
