Is there any point to JavaScript minification if you have compression turned on?

Let's just test it. I used jQuery 1.4.2 and gzip (without flags -9 does not seem to make a significant difference) to get the following numbers.

Having a file minified before you gzip it will make a slight difference in server performance, though I doubt that adds up to much. Minification will remove comments, which gzip/deflate will not, but other than that I'd say you're correct.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
