That does look like a big deal, if i were in your situation, I'd try running with only mod_deflate, then only mod_cache, and see what happens. There are benefits to running the reverse proxy alone (without mod_cache), so that'd be the first scenario i'd try.
Or split them up. If you have any static assets that can benefit from mod_deflate (Javascript, CSS, etc) then put mod_deflate on the proxies and mod_perl, mod_cache on the backend.
