PHP has its own buffering mechanism which can take care of this. Try output_buffering = 4096 in your php.ini.

That works, but IMHO it won't help enough unless it becomes the default. The problem, from my perspective, is that people using the default, non-buffered setting who upgrade from Apache 1.3 to 2.0 are going to get an unpleasant surprise: their scripts that used to perform well are now a lot slower, and the load on their servers is higher. I like Cliff's suggestion of switching to apr_brigade_write() for the unbuffered case, to match the behavior of 1.3. --Brian
