Why don't we benchmark this on the actual MediaWiki JS?
I don't think the current set of javascript will benefit from this effort as much as _future_ set of javascript. ie future libraries will contain many thousands of lines distributed over dozens of files rather than hundreds of lines over a handful of js files.
I suggest we re-evaluate our decision when we actually *reach* that situation in the future (assuming that'll even happen). Introducing minification now because we *might* need it in one *possible* future seems kind of pointless to me. We should base our decision whether or not to minimize on the *current* situation, and re-evaluate when the situation changes significantly.
