Fine, but we need way to transfer this scripts over the network as gzip. So your OpenLayer.js is 856 kB big and needs 1.38s for transfer. I use php for compression, so it looks for the client like normal JavaScript. My OpenLayers-original2-9.js.php that I use in OSM-Gadget need 193 kB (the same like that from openlayers.org) and needs 0.53 sec for transfer.
For the Openlayers application in Geohack of the german WP I removed all unnecessary features (with the help Openlayerer.org + Try&Error) so I come to 82 kB with compression.
PHP is the only way I know to start the gzhandler, there are surely better ways for admins in server-preferences. It's seem not usefull to compress a file everytime new.
The Jquery-skript have also in the latest directory the actual version-number in the filename (jquery-1.4.2.js http://toolserver.org/%7Eosm/libs/jquery/latest/jquery-1.4.2.js) thats perhaps also not optimal.
What I miss is the OpenStreetMap.js from Openstreetmap.org or is this not wanted?
I think a central point for this scripts is the best way, because I don't need to update it for my own and we should surely go away from highloaded OpenLayers-Servers, but we should optimize it a little bit more.

Hi
on the German list the need came up to link openlayers & co. from the toolserver directly instead of openlayers.org.
I've put up recent versions of some libs i found useful at http://toolserver.org/~osm/libs/
If a lib is missing or an update is required, please mail this list.
