Minimize, don't pack. And the other half of it if you're concerned about
performance is set the Expires header to 1 year from now when you serve the
file:
http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#expires
That will cause the user to download your JavaScript once, and then load it
locally for the next year (provided their cache isn't cleared).
