Thank you for all your responses and references. What i want to activate is the SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS level that activates whitespace removal and renaming (shortening) of variables and functions. my webapp is getting used more by mobile clients (tablets, phonse) than desktop clients. during testing and optimization i realized that the form of the js - eg. whitespaces - has an impact on the execution performance. gzip does a great job in shrinking the file sizes but unzipping on a mobile client has a performance toll which is noticeable on app startup leaving the user with the perception the app were slow.
