Irrelevant.  Web image formats are already compressed.  You should also
avoid compressing some other formats (such as PDF) or a certain
crippled browser will refuse to display them.

It's a third-party module.  But it's not really required for Apache
in the sense of IIS.  We don't have a long history of devastating bugs
like CodeRed and Nimda (despite having three times MS's market share).
mod_security protects vulnerable applications rather than the server
itself.
