Though Wikimedia servers are quite efficient already, it might be worth checking this out:

From their site:
"mod_pagespeed includes several filter that optimize JavaScript, HTML and CSS stylesheets.."
This is already being handled by the in-trunk-but-not-deployed ResourceLoader. It does all the combining and minification of Javascript and CSS.
"It also includes filters for optimizing JPEG and PNG images."
I'm pretty sure we're not running Apache on the media servers, so the benefit here is moot.
In general: cool, and probably useful for a lot of people. Probably not useful for WMF.
