Javascript and Load Time
I conducted a quick experiment to assess whether it is worth worrying about the size and distribution of Javascript modules. I gathered the following numbers on my Linux box at home (fast) connected to Cixar (fast) over my home Internet connection (average today).
| ping cixar.com | 30ms | |
| ping google.com | 80ms | |
| HTTP overhead | 30ms | |
| bandwidth | 0.1KB/ms | |
| patience | 1500ms | |
| maximum size | 150KB | |
| Chiron core | 100KB | |
| Chiron core shrunk | 50KB | |
| Chiron core shrunk compressed | 13KB | |
I've decided not to worry about the size or distribution of Chiron until its core is five times bigger.
