About JSMin

"JSMin is a filter which removes comments and unnecessary whitespace from javascript files. It typically reduces filesize by half, resulting in faster downloads. It also encourages a more expressive programming style because it eliminates the download cost of clean, literate self-documentation."

Excerpt from Douglas Crockford's JSMin page
