Hi Andrew, This is the same question as the one posted here just yesterday. Here's the thread: http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/37ffb480aea5c5d0
I replied to that thread and mentioned that the packed version (but not the minified version) still needs to be 'eval'd by the browser once it is received, which may (or may not) negate the advantage of it being lighter by less than 1kb. Joel Birch.
