I'm not worried about the overhead for the encryption. I want to load the js over http because browsers do not cache content that is loaded over https. As my application is fairly large (800k, split into several deferred pieces, some of which are 200k) I want to have it cached as much as possible. This is not such an issue when using the application over Wifi, but it can be an issue when using it on mobile devices, provided they that they do caching of decent sized components (see http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2010/06/28/mobile-browser-cache-limits/ ).
I'd just whish that Google had picked another icon than the red skull and bones.
