I just tried that two days ago with a private extensions that use ExtJS. It turned out to be impossible. When scripts are minified to typo3temp/ I get various problems and JS errors. I do not get them if I move files to their native directories.

I am not a supporter of minifying/compressing anything in PHP if it can be done outside of PHP. From performance view, outside will be always faster than inside. Native code is always faster than interpreted (even with accelerators).

Mr. Harris: People say that you were the last person to speak with Jordon...
            Is that true? 
Cameron: I don't know. Are you asking me if people say I was the last person
            to talk to Jordon? Or are you asking me if I was the last person
            to talk to her? 
Mr. Harris: I guess I'm asking if you were. 
Cameron: I don't know.
