Hi Michael, The YUI & Ext files contained in CF8 are already compressed and apart from GZipping, there's not much more you can do to them to make them smaller. The Spry files can be made smaller using Dojo's ShrinkSafe compressor. As Charlie mentioned, I blogged about it so check out that link.
Since HoF is a consumer-facing website, I would suggest you take a serious look at jQuery and its associated plugins if filesize is a concern (www.jquery.com). A number of CF gurus have embraced it and they seem to be quite happy with the results.
