[TYPO3-dev] Minifying Prototype and Scriptaculous

[Franz Koch]

Hi,
> I am playing with my test site to optimize its loading. I just found that if I minify Prototype, it becomes 25% smaller in size (93KB instead of 126) and for scriptaculous effects 38K become 29K (27% difference).

I justed opend firebug in a 4.3trunk installation and got shocked when I 
saw that it loaded over 800 kB for one page. Then I saw that the cause 
is extJS with about 600 kB (js+css). Do we really need a 600 kB JS 
framework only to display inline popup messages and probably sort some 
lists at some day?
