if you gzip compress your file, then you lose a few millisecs for the browser to decompress it.Given your figures, i'd say the 1Kb advantage does not compensate for the browser having to decompress it. besides, i found that the flash plugin does not work properly if u use the gzip version of jquery.
for me, minified is the best. ---------- Original Message ---------- To: jQuery (English) (jquery-en@googlegroups.com) From: Chalkers ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Subject: [jQuery] jQuery 1.2.2 compressed to 14.3KB Date: 25/1/2008 1:28:40 Hi there, I gzipped the packed version to 14.3KB http://www.port80software.com/tools/compresscheck.asp?url=http%3A%2F%2Falpha.chalkley.org%2Fjquery%2Fjquery-1.2.2.pack.js Whereas the minified one is 15.3KB http://www.port80software.com/tools/compresscheck.asp?url=http%3A%2F%2Falpha.chalkley.org%2Fjquery%2Fjquery-1.2.2.min.js (I get the same results using this site http://www.gidnetwork.com/tools/gzip-test.php) Have I missed the point why people should use the minified one and gzip it rather than gzipping the packed one?
