It's pretty much a caching proxy with some compression and Mozilla's
prefetch scheme. I don't see much to it that can't be done with
Mozilla configured with a big cache size & link prefetching enabled.

The compression thing isn't universal, but Apache 2.0 does have a
module for it (http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html).
I don't know about other servers. Pretty much any recent browser using
http 1.1 will support it.
