Yes definitely.

Don't know if prototype is going to be part of the ajax alliance thing but people are starting to do "hosting" of js packages as well, thus enabling more opportunities/likelyhood that the js being served has already been cached.

It's probably poor manners to being percieved as promoting another tech here but I just think the idea is good (even if I haven't used it myself yet ) . http://dojo.jot.com/WikiHome/CrossDomainPackageLoading

IMHO, the important thing about serving _javascript_ is getting the caching right (that is do content expiration in a away that the browser won't ask the server if the _javascript_ was updated for a certain period of time). 

For repeated page views on a site or web app, that's the most important performance thing to do (of course this does extend to other page assets, like layout images and style sheets).

If you're on Apache, you probably should take a look at mod_expires.

Is there a good windows-based _javascript_ compressor which will reliably compress script aculo and prototype?
