I've got the remove whitespace setting applied on CF server and it doesn't
seem to make any difference to the size of the completed template, I still
get pages that are filled with whitespace.
The only way I found to get rid of some, was to put CF comments in, this
reduces the Tabed indents to a single CRLF, but theres a trade off, parsing
speed against page size. In testing I've found that it reduces pages by
upto 20% (depending on the page layout).

Just as a point on this - removing white-space only reduces the time that it
takes to send the template to the user - using CFSETTING a lot will actually
slow the server down (slightly)
It's therefore a payoff as to whether you want the pages to be built faster
or sent to the user faster - remembering that if you can turn more pages
around on the server, then you can serve more visitors - people are willing
to wait an extra second or so, but if you've got a busy site, then you've
got to weigh up which one you prefer...
You get what I mean :-/
