App loader and minifying

Hi,

I am using rather long variable names and a lot of long comments in my code. This is to make it as readable as possible.
Downside: The code gets very big and I run into memory problems too early.

When uploading the code, I am using minifying to reduce the size.

Two questions:

1. I experienced problems with the settings.js file when using minification. My guess is that is because variable names are not consistent anymore between files. Could that be?
   
2. Does the app loader do some minification? I do not want to upload code without comments, but they really do not have to be on the watch. I do not think it does, because the comments are in the files on the watch. Can minifaction be enabled by some switch?
   
   

Thanks
Christian
