After receiving some feedback from people about my Apache2 auto-minification filters for JS/CSS, and seeing that the only issue people seemed to have was that the underlying minifiers weren't terribly fast, I've gone ahead and have rebuilt them using XS.
I've also updated the Apache2 filters themselves so that they now prefer to use these XS versions if they're available, but fallback to the pure-Perl ones if they're not. Doing some "dumb testing" here and just running things through locally, I've seen anywhere from a 100-250x speedup in using these XS versions. If you had -any- performance issues with the previous versions of these filters, I recommend testing out these XS based minifiers and seeing if they work better for you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Give them a few hours to propogate, and you'll find them over at: http://search.cpan.org/~gtermars/CSS-Minifier-XS-0.01_01/ http://search.cpan.org/~gtermars/JavaScript-Minifier-XS-0.01_01/ http://search.cpan.org/~gtermars/Apache2-Filter-Minifier-CSS-1.04_01/ http://search.cpan.org/~gtermars/Apache2-Filter-Minifier-JavaScript-1.04_01/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Any/all feedback is appreciated; its been a while since I wrote anything using XS and I'd like to make sure that it builds/compiles properly for people. -- Graham TerMarsch Howling Frog Internet Development, Inc.
