If this is true it's nice. Means you can balance your design, downloading a
portion of it with a splash page and the rest with the main page.
Significantly reduces the impression of "waiting" with the user.
Also, implementing Apache server mods that add dynamic compression on the
fly and you can almost reduce a "coded" foot-print of the API used in a
dynamic page to the 45-50K range using well planned art (damned if Jacob
Nielson wouldn't be impressed). Try that in Flash. Then add to that the
ability to reskin, alter page states and pump mass quantities of server-side
dynamics into an ever shift page paradigm, and...
well that's why were all here.
Cheers,

I found this snippet :
One of the greatest advantages to using .js files across mutliple pages is
that the files are cached after the initial use, and are ready immediately
on subsequent pages, speeding up load times after the initial page visited
at your site.

I think if you try testing this though, you'll get false calls to the
server, as the mod date is always checked to see if the .js files have been
changed.
