Dolphin: The Resource Terminator

Can anybody guess how many kb a pop-up message with only two lines of text has?

How about 384kb? Yes a simple confirmation message EATS 384kb.. imagine 1000 users opening each just 3 pop-ups per day.. 1000 users x 3 pop-ups x 384kb = 1,15GB !!! And those are just pop-ups with no fancy images or videos..

Why is this hapening? Because bx_templ_css has 76kb and bx_templ_js has 222 kb!

The question is: Do we need 76kb to style a pop-up and 222kb of javascript to open a window?

jQuery javascript is included in every file because of very intensive usage of jQuery functions almost on every page.

It will change when cache will be gziped, then js and css files will be smaller in 10-20 times. Also some servers gzip content automatically and in reality this files many times smaller.

Thanks, that's good to hear.. but in some windows jquery can be skipped.. for the sake of bandwidth (on the long run)..
