As I understand the compression, you compression rate gets better with bigger files, especially when using the same variables/methods/objects again and again, which would be the case for plugin code using jQuery.
The managment cost of packing all plugins into one file can be highly reduced when that task is automated (eg. via an ant build). -- Jörn Zaefferer http://bassistance.de _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
