Hey there,

The technical architecture we're currently using to host this file doesn't
support serving gzipped content in the standard manner (using the HTTP
Accept-Encoding header). Because we can't be sure gzip is supported by the
user agent making the request (especially with proxies) we prefer to serve
the file uncompressed, prioritizing compatibility over performance.

Thanks for your feedback! That's something we're looking to improve in the
future.

Hi,
its can be a 20k save on a 30k initial file.
i try with Firefox 4 with Accept-Encoding gzip,deflate

I work for a tv company and we have the twitter widget on many page.
We have a lot of external javascript so a 20k saving is good.
