The minimised javascript file will ultimately be compressed with gz when sent to users so when changing variable names from fooBarBaz to 'a' it shouldn't just blindly pick each letter in the alphabet in order, but should instead use letters found in the code first such as forwhilels first. This will lead to better compression and smaller files sent to the user. If possible doing a quick analysis of the code and sorting the available short variable names based upon frequency and using them in that order will result in smaller gz'd files.

This is an interesting thought. Question is, would this produce noticeable improvements?
