I just read a very interesting coment against this kind os scripts. does this apply to this plugin too:

The point of the plugin is to consolidate all the .js and .css includes into 1 single request which reduces the time the browser takes to view the page (great idea) – the problem is the plugin’s method of finding these files to optimize. Recursively searching for files in the plugins and themes directory is intensive in the first place, not to mention the function for it is badly written. Add in the fact that it does this every page load and that’s the huge performance hit which increases exponentially with the more plugins and themes you have. So for now, it’s not worth the faster page load time.

This is a great resource! Thanks for posting about it. Considering all of the ‘app-like’ sites that are springing up built in wordpress this tool will certainly come in handy.

Thanks again!
