In which case? Google Maps? You're right that in most cases, it's major overkill, but I'd guess there are many applications where it makes a lot of sense. Big sites with many millions daily visitors could save a decent chunk of bandwidth.

- dennisgorelik 16y agoI mean in general with JavaScrips trying to save dataload by sending diffs of that JavaScripts instead of full new version -- does not worth the complexity of dealing with it. Diff functionality is more complex and therefore: - Requires a lot of time to develop and maintain. - Could have bugs which might result in a weird web application behavior. Bandwidth is not as expensive as the overhead of maintaining JavaScript Diffs.
