I figured it would be an issue with browser caching... Hence the 'of course I don't know how well this deals with browser caching issues'. :)
though I suspect that you could 'expire content immediately' on the web server to remedy this. If bandwidth is your issue, seems like a huge waste of time for such a small problem anyhow considering that all of these resources can be loaded once at 'runtime'... Though as brad mentioned, if the issue isn't bandwidth but cpu and memory overhead... Fewer functions means less overhead.

That would be a terrible approach, because of browser caching issues. You'd be much better off just having one static JS file that gets used by every page, but only downloaded once.
