Does minified javascript improve performance?

Question

I\'m making an AIR application (so download time doesn\'t have a huge impact), does combining and minifing all the javascript files affect the performance? How would obfusca

Answer 1

Minification does not improve the speed at which JavaScript executes at runtime, which I believe it what you're really interested in. In fact, if you use Packer's Base64 compression, it's actually slower on initial load.

Minification will reduce the size of the JavaScript though, making your application's download size smaller.
