Honestly, if I can, I try to cut down on sizes of compiled binaries and even minified and combined web app code. Sure many times it's unnecessary but if I can save on bandwidth and memory typically that means I'm including less crap that can have problems, too. I see it as including far more benefits than simply getting a file size smaller. But sometimes it can take so much extra work that it's not worth it. So gotta do the cost benefits analysis or hell if it's something you're interested in doing just do it anyway.
