Minifying is nice, bumped on github a javascript string compressor http://pieroxy.net/blog/pages/lz-string/demo.html which compress the minified (on a PC the 830 bytes becomes 322 bytes net).
The original code is 1788 bytes compressed to 498 bytes.
Serial links are slow, so the MCU got time to decompress with this kind of option.
More bang for the memory buck, and probably more throughput in serial links?
It also makes the original JS code probably closer to a compiled C code, which would be used for speed?
