I think that the savings depend very much on the latency. For example from where I am to Brazil the latency (round-trip) is almost 500 ms, so if I could bundle 60 files in a .zip instead of requesting them in series (say at max 6 in parallel), the page would load in a little more than 500 ms instead of in 10 seconds. You can also think about it this way: the price per request with 500 ms of latency, is 500kB on a 1 megabyte per second ADSL, or 1 megabyte in a 2 megabyte/s ADSL, etc. So for 60 requests it's 30 or 60 megabytes. Yes a server could perhaps fix that for me almost transparently, but with this I could as well fix it all by myself. -- ( Jorge )(); _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
