OK, I've manged to confuse the problem. So:
1. The 'apps' are basic run-of-the-mill websites. Nothing fancy.
2. We tested it on a local machine with RHEL 5/PHP 5/MySQL 5.
3. The php.ini and httpd.conf files were suitably edited.
4. Yes, *it does work without a glitch* from my connection (Triband) and
my colleague's connection (cable net - Fivenet - Kurla). I have no
logical explanation.
5. My colleague is the only senior and he comes from an ASP/IIS background.
On this, we are equals.
The problem seems to be (in layman's term) 'catching a file from the
filesystem'. And
it was detected on the local machine, but we didn't anticipate it to
blow up like this.
When we upload a new website module to the server, then the problem shows up -
page taking a long time to load, etc. We go home and check - its
working fine. And
its working fine when seen from office by the second session the next day.
In fact, PHPMyAdmin has also stabilized mostly. So has Awstats.
We face similar problem in FTP - I tried to download a SQL dump file -
the speed was
abysmal and the download had to be aborted.
I compared the response headers (www.redboxrewards.com).
From my home and office respectively:

It looks like the the Squid proxy isn't asking for gzipped data.
