but what would be the point? say you got jQuery down to 10k in size.... that leaves 15k left for images and HTML and etc, it's just going to hit that limit and purge the cache anyways..... but just a few requests sooner
keep with the minified and gzipped version to keep the data sent across the connection to a minimum... ripping apart the library just doesn't seem worth the payoff, which isn't much anyways....
