  Lets say your .js files takes up 5% of your total app size after gzip compression, and minification saves you around 20%. Then you have saved around 1% bandwidth at the cost of obfuscation and more difficult debugging. And If it's cached, witch all main-steam browsers does, you've saved around 0.01% at best. So if you pay $10,000 in bandwidth costs each month, that's $1 saved :P

    1) I can play the "let's make numbers up" game, too. 2) There are many, many people in the world today who access the internet through what is effectively a 2G connection. 3) "...at the cost of obfuscation and more difficult debugging." 3a) Sometimes obfuscation is a desirable side-effect. 3b) Javascript source maps exist for a reason. 4) "And If it's cached, witch all main-steam browsers does..." 4a) It's almost as if you ignored the majority of the last sentence in my previous comment. :)
