Hi Dmitry,

> It is not a problem to minify small scripts. But with small scripts the effect is not that significant. With large scripts minification at runtime becomes a major problem. Think what happens on a busy site when a large script is changed. 100 people come, 100 requests check and find that the file is modified, 100 requests start to minify it, server is blocked.

this needs to be handled by a lock of course
However, I agree with both of you. I see Sebastian's point, minifying on 
the fly on the server is very convinient for the majority of 
installations and use cases. For other special cases like your big ExtJs 
app it would be helpfull to deliver a pre minified version by hand. A 
combination of both would therefore be a good solution IMO.


all the best
Ingo
