Regarding turning off integrated windows authentication:

If you never planned to authenticate remote users (i.e. they remain
anonymous or authenticated in other manners), you should turn off
authentication.

Authentication will be slower than Anonymous, no question about it, so it
wasn't so much as a "performance increase" as much as you are tuning your
server to not do things that you didn't need (but the server has no way to
read your mind to figure that out...)

Thank you for your answer, but I got it already running.
Problem was that I hadn't enabled "Use HTTP 1.1 over Proxy" in the IE
Advanced Internet Options.
Now static compression of ows.js and ie55up.js work fine. The files are
downsized to under 100 kb.
Another performance increase was the disabling of integrated windows
authentification in the virtual server settings.
