In fact I've noticed that the number of client-side javascript files

Cocoon forms has a considerable impact on page load time.

But if set up correctly with the appropriate response headers this should only happen on the first access. Afterwards the files should be taken from the browser's cache. Actually they can be cached quite aggressively.

Yes, but it's quite annoying that this first access takes so long. It may make 
potential user go away, especially when browser freezes.

And that's the point where all the optimizations can even be counterproductive. Collecting the parts you actually need for the page and merging them makes them individual for that page (or a group of pages) and the files need to be retrieved for every actual combination of them.

If size and whitespace matter why not just gzipping them?

Yes, it's another, valid, point of view. Meanwhile, we could think about making 
this behaviour (aggressive caching + gzipping) default.
