I inherited a CF5 project with huge amounts of modules and includes and the
whitespace generated was unbelieveable.
The size of the page source alone on most pages was in and around 70k. When
I removed the whitespace, this dropped to around 20k.
The client has strict bandwidth utilisation rules, so anything I can do to
drop the page size is important.
Thanks for your help.

With regular expressions, it tends to much, much harder to say "do this
when a condition is false" than "do this when a condition is true".
One option that would at least fix the problem with the scripts (though
not the textareas or the PRE blocks) would be to replace [[:space:]]
with a class of space and tab. This wouldn't remove line breaks.
Peter's suggestion of searching through some regex libraries is a good
one. You may find something you could modify.
To get a better grip on the problem, can I ask why you're removing
whitespace? Is this just to reduce page size? Or is there a reason
I've overlooked?
