We are getting into an era where users and customers become the most important thing since we make business from them. That is why I believe that if a thousand users see 1% improvement, it is worth one hour of your time, plust the fact that now you can minify all php code, html, css and javascript, which at the end causes a considerable effect. That's my thought tho.... Regards @Lars,

We recently did this on our intranet web applications. We did it using jsmin. While the compression was good (about 50%), it made little impact on the load time of the page for users. Why? Because the amount of in-house javascript the we were now minifying was dwarfed by the amount of 3rd-party javascript (dojo, ArcGIS Server Javascript API, TinyMCE, FCKEditor, etc.), which were already pre-minified. That's not to say don't use minification on your web sites. We do. But you may want to evaluate beforehand, what percentage of the code used by my web can I actually minify? Ten percent? If my user sees a 5% speed improvement, will that make the effort worthwhile for me? Good points on minifying.
