i experimented on that. i expected the new YUI minifier to give better compression (as it does on all of my plugins), but it only compresses jQ to 30k. i got the best jQ compression using a PHP port of the Edwards Packer: http://wanderinghorse.net/computing/javascript/#packers In any case, the different pack/min techniques will give different results on different inputs. On very small JS files MIN is normally better because of the PACK overhead (just under 200 bytes, i think). On large files, PACK tends to beat out MIN, but this isn't always so. YUI minifier is damned good, at least on my code, but it seems to not be the best packer for jQ. Anyway... the point is simply to experiment and find the best one for your purposes. A couple K either way probably isn't going to kill anyone.
