Now testing different setups based on Pressflow + Ncache + Redis and Cache (not cacherouter) + Boost etc. etc.
Will report some results (and workarounds) soon, since we are moving all our 6.x to Pressflow as a core and we need Boost also.

Error has to do with drupal_set_header(). Most of the // Output buffering callback code section should probably be rewritten. Has to do with array keys and values. I think the quick fix is to use drupal_get_headers() as that gives the correct info in pressflow.

Have you tried using Varnish instead? That is one of the main selling points of pressflow.

#701826: Use Varnish for cache storage instead of file system.

Although I know everybody's mileage might vary, I do believe that if you are using Boost this negates need for Varnish in most situations (I have tested and used both in production environments).

The fastest production configuration I have found so far is:

*Well configured MySQL with my-huge.cnf + double size query cache.
*Pressflow
*memcache
*Nginx - configured to serve static files bypassing PHP + setting expire headers.
*PHP Fast-CGI
*Varnish
*APC + php.stat

Varnish is good for keepings things on the edge. I bet that xcache will be better than APC (as APC does not support fast-cgi efficiently) for PHP 5.2.
