Moving further off-topic ... why not just use http compression? It works especially well when the scripts are minified.

Sounds interesting, Aaron, thanks for the pointer. Two questions: How is the unpacking speed? I don't care how long it takes to pack the code (within reason), but unpacking speed is very important, especially on slow machines like an iPhone/Nokia/Windows Mobile phone. I saw a test report that seemed to indicate that Dean's packer took 1.5 seconds to unpack jQuery on the iPhone, which is way too slow. I would gladly take a slower packing time to get faster unpacking. Is the source code available? I can't use a compressor that I have to go to a website to use. That's fine for testing, but for production use I need to be able to integrate it into my build process and have it available at all times.
