One thing to keep in mind is that using several http requests (even when content is cached) instead of using one is a lot slower. I use a script that combines js and css files on the server side and serves the combined files out of a public cache directory. You can use firebug + yslow to compare the no-cache and prime-cache cases for separate and combined files. For developers, yes, keeping files separate and dependencies mapped can be very quick. That is why I keep a directory called "global" where I keep lots of files with small snippets. The snippets are compiled into one file for global use. In my environment, firebug + yslow showed an enormous improvement with 1 http request instead of 12 http requests. The primed-cache comparison also showed improvement. - Ken Snyder --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype: Core" group.
