What's wrong with core's CSS compression? What other modules are you talking about?

IE Unlimited CSS Loader Module -

This is what I put on my last site to overcome the loss of CSS running IE - while the pages looked great in Firefox.

Inside your drupal site go to admin/settings/performance

You will see CSS compression under bandwidth optimization.

Actually it's't working very well. Core compression is breaking theme styles on many contrib themes.

I was searching something similar and thought you guys might be interested in my 2 cents.
The core css compression found under the performance menu is great for production sites.
Unfortunately when trying to work out the kinks in IE you have to clear the site cache every time, which is time consuming.
This is because IE can only handle a maximum of 31 style sheets.

So, while developing it would be great to have an option to compress certain style sheets your not working on, but leave the others untouched. Reducing the number of css files to below 31 (so they all load in IE) +also allowig you to see the changes you make on every browser refresh, without the need to clear the site cache.

Well luckily the IE CSS Optimizer module exactly this. Check it out here http://drupal.org/project/ie_css_optimizer
Enjoy :)
