One easy way to do this is through a piece of middleware that the vudo guys wrote: repoze.squeeze. It scans for resources at a particular url, and tries to aggregate the patterns of resources into one. It uses the assumption that for a given url, you usually bundle the same resources together. AFAIK, it uses some kind of heurisitic based approach, so it readjusts itself if the pattern of resources changes, and tries to squeeze as much as possible together.
You can probably do better by statically aggregating them yourselves for production deploys, but just sticking in repoze.squeeze into the pipeline should be much easier ;) gzipping the aggregate should help things too. http://svn.repoze.org/repoze.squeeze/trunk/README.txt Robert On Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 08:08:18PM -0500, Luke Tucker wrote: > > Hey David, > > Sorry to hear your experience was so drastically negative! but thanks > for the honest feedback :) We'll do our best to fix things up in the > javascript department as soon as we can.
