Dean Edward's packer has a lower compression ratio than a simple gzip, and there's a performance overhead when unpacking a packed script.

It is very easy to serve gzipped script on S3/Cloudfront: gzip the script, remove the .gz extension, upload to S3 and add "Content-Encoding: gzip" as a cutom header.
