Bob,
Yes, you should try it! :-) Modern browsers know how to "handle" gzip files.
Think of it this way: if you open an MP3 file in your browser, the browser
plays it, right? The MP3 doesn't open in another application unless you
explicitly tell it to or download it. In similar fashion, gzip files are
handled by the browser too. They just get unzipped and the unzipped file gets
pulled in and processed by the browser.
Cheers, Mike

So... by combining all the JSmolxxxx.js files (including the huge three.js
library for webGL) in a minimified version, I got a 418kB file which gziped as
a 90kB file.
accessing jquery from CDN, lead to download a 33kB compressed file and core.js
is still compressed accounting for 560kB
test2.htm loaded in a 772kB transfer after 54 requests.
As I mentioned previously there is a bunch of extra files which I think could
be related to a difference of version between the jsmol zip file I downloaded
(version 11/13/2012) and the actual online version (11/18/2012). I presume that
without these extra requests the initial load would amount to 700kB. Bob, can
this be fairly compared with the 1MB JmolApplet0.jar file ?
Quite possibly. You should be able to use the files in
http://chemapp.stolaf.edu/jmol/jsmol.zip and have NO org/jmol downloads and NO
java/ downloads for anything that is not biological. If you see any additional
files, then something is wrong with the compression. Function names have
changed, for example. But, yes, I would say 1 MB is our target, since that is
the size of JmolApplet0.jar.
I don't understand the gzip business. Do all browsers now accept gzipped .js
files? How does that work?
Bob
For information, here is how I processed :
- fetching JQuery from CDN :
<script
src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js<http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js>"></script>
- minimifying JS files using uglifyjs2 (after installing node and the uglifyjs2
package through npm) https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2
- core.z.js :
uglifyjs2 core.z.js -o core.js --compress
- JSmolxxx.js files
uglifyjs2 JSmolCore.js JSmolApplet.js JSmolApi.js JSmolThree.js JSmolGLmol.js
j2s/j2sjmol.js JSmol.js -o JSmol.min.js --compress unsafe=false
(using --compress without specifying the unsafe=false argument breaks this code)
- changing the script tags :
<script type="text/javascript" src="JSmol.min.js"></script>
For server side js files compression I edited the httpd.conf file of my Apache
server in accordance with this tutorial :
http://www.techiepark.com/tutorials/how-to-enable-gzip-compression-in-apache-server-to-speed-up-website/
mol and pdb files also benefit from this setting

It works and caffeine is loaded after a 871kB download ! core.js is sent as a
564kB file.
Surprisingly 43 js files are loaded after core.js (shaperenderer.js,
ballrenderer.js, deflate.js, gzipheaders.js to name a few). Those files are not
loaded on the test page delivered by the chemapps... server. Something might
have happened somewhere in the ugglifying process ?
Still, a remaining 307kB might be reduced by compressing the main libraries
(JSmolApi.js and the like) and downloading jquery through google api cdn.

go ahead and change that name. It is referenced in j2s/java/package.js
