I believe for most of us, the magic happens when application.js sends an
Ajax POST to: bootstrap.herokuapp.com:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST'
, url: /\?dev/.test(window.location) ? 'http://localhost:3000' : '
http://bootstrap.herokuapp.com'
, dataType: 'jsonpi'
, params: {
js: js
, css: css
, vars: vars
, img: img
}
})
And does it compile every time a user choses to download a customised

Yes, I believe so. The Ajax POST is responded to by a zip file that
contains the customized bootstrap files. Since the mime-type of that
response is zip, browser just chooses to save it as such.
