When it says "function body removed", does that mean all in a single file but no real useful code? Or in other words, reading less files cuts time to 36-44% and reading same number of files, but smaller in size, to 25-31%. Also reading zip of normal files is just a bit slower than reading the combined version. Do you see a trend? It is not exactly disk speed, more like disk seeks, which is basically the issue all modern software is hitting as nobody realizes CPUs have gone a lot faster, RAM a bit faster, but disks are more or less stuck where they were years ago (8ms seeks, ~100 or less disk ops per second), specially if reading non contiguous sectors (ignore SSD for now). Add more files in the form of config, icons, thumbnails, etc and the performance sucks. I remember someone saying that disk access is like tape access was, rewind kills you.
