You'd need an incredibly large number of concurrent users to even notice any difference. I'd suspect that no weewx site in the world has enough simultaneous users to make that over-optimization necessary.
Every piece of software has a balance in how it's optimized versus size/speed/supportability. A little whitespace isn't killing anybody if it makes the product more supportable. And you can of course modify 'your' system to strip whitespace out in 'your' templates if you feel the need is so strong. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
