I’ve just created a new module which implements one of Brad’s features
of perlbal -- http://www.danga.com/perlbal/ <http://www.danga.com/perlbal/>.
The ability to concatenate CSS or javascript files into a single HTTP
request.
the request will look like:
http://hostname/cdn/??music2.js,mp.js,dir1/dalai_llama.js,ratings_widget.js,widget_config.js,common.js
my initial testing shows a performance gain of about 1 second when I
request a file from the other side of the pacific ocean (melbourne to
dallas TX)
you can try it out yourself:
http://lime.holsman.net:8001/concat/with.html - CSS/JS using concat
and
http://lime.holsman.net:8001/concat/without.html -- using standard method
the code lives here: http://code.google.com/p/modconcat/
