Выяснил, почему Outpost Firewall отключает возможность gzip сжатия web страниц:

Why does Outpost set web page compression (gzip compression) to OFF?

Some browsers are capable of requesting data from a web server to be returned “compressed”, if possible. They do so by including an HTTP field of the following form in the request “Accept-Encoding: gzip”. The pages returned are not plain text but in a special encoded “compressed” format. Outpost does not support decrypting of compressed pages on the fly so it disables compression by stripping “Accept-Encoding: gzip” from each browser’s request.

If you want to enable page compression run Regedit and set “Enablegzipencoding” to “1″ in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Agnitum\Outpost Firewall. However, please note that Advertisement blocking, Content Filtering and Active Content filtering plug-ins will not work for all sites.

Рекомендую всем, кто пользуется этим файрволом включить сжатие (скачиваем outpost_gzip_on.reg) - с ним многие сайты у меня стали грузиться почти мгновенно.
