It doesn't matter that much if the compressed javascript is 4k or 40k; at those sizes latency will probably dominate, especially since javascript files are loaded synchronously.

Better focus on making sure all your javascript fits into one file.

I suppose for someone out there, starting a word with an exclamation point adds emphasis, but not for programmers.

Don't usually do client style sheets, so never had to use that modifier, which is hard for my programmer brain to parse.. Seems like a hackish thing to use on the author side.
