Mike, thanks for your cool post. Last two hours I was doing just the same thing as you have suggested and came to a few results with limitations: - minified version of needed code without ready and sliding is 8k, without sliding but with ready 16kb and 42kb with sliding.
Probably here is the best idea to get JSON functionality out of jQuery (or use yours JSONP) and find one simple sliding script. PS: I am not a fan of gzipping, sounds pretty uncommon to me.
