If you are going to use regular expressions to reduce whitespace, I'd
probably use something like
rereplace(text, "\s+", " ", "all");
However, I would look carefully at whether this actually speeds up
delivery. Full-fledged regex engines are slow, and there are several
faster replacement engines designed specifically for reducing the size
of web pages. Also, bandwidth is cheap. :-)
