By davidmurdoch:

All my file-size comparisons were against the deflated versions of the minified source.

When content is "gzipped" it means it has been compressed via DEFLATE and wrapped with GZIP's header and footer. So, when I say "sheds 57 bytes (deflated)" it means "sheds 57 bytes (gzipped, sans header and footer)".

@jrburke, do the AMD optimizer tools tokenize/parse the JS to do they file rewriting or is it some sort of static string analysis? Or some other method?
