Good point on the redownloading part: I'd have to look into the actual numbers, if the homepage-primed connection count is still only 1 it's definitely worth it

However, I disagree about the low benefit of minifying gzipped CSS. I thought the same thing too until I ran some tests. For example:
34K v6core.css.gz
27K v6core.min.css.gz
I ran your core CSS file through YUI compressor and then gzip. 7k of savings, over 20%, definitely seems worth it.
- kemayo 16y agoInteresting; that's a lot more than I had expected. It's only a few lines of code to change to make it happen, so we may well do it. (Need to do some quick checking to make sure that we don't have any old CSS hacks in there that might play poorly with being minified.)
