Based on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8098317 (HTML minifier revisited) and specifically:
Google minifies HTML on basically all its properties. It's probably about a > 50% savings in bytes, which translates to (on my Comcast connection) about > 250ms in network latency saved.

I'd like to combine this with a Rake task that copies views to a temp folder, minifies them, and serves them instead of the real views. That way I don't have to minify HTML with regexes (or at least there'd be less HTML to minify) on each page load. Thinking this would do well together with gzip compression. What do you guys think?
