umm, minify removes a lot of things from the compression stream. minify
on it's own is not the answer. But you would be surprised what a little
minify  and one time gziping of a file will gain you. Then you can serve
out those files with no CPU overhead, and already compressed files that
the browser will decompress for you.

Yes many of us love to bash on MySQL. Many of us have dealt with the
beast and have our battle scars. 

BTW, market share doesn't prove anything is better than something else.
Just remember that 50% of the population is below average intelligence,
then decide if you want to follow the crowd.
