I've recently become somewhat interested in this project - downloaded the bootplate app and rolled it up for testing:
I'm running an efficient but quasi-security minded custom web application framework that takes advantage of cache busting for static assets like javascripts and css. All .js files are grouped into a single resource [save perhaps one or two] then delivered to the client and cached for greater lengths of time to eliminate unnecessary server round trips...
The first thing I noticed was that for a simple "hello world" sort of app the amount of requests being made was unacceptable - even without having transmitted any serious application data.
Has any thought been given to consolidation, minification, compression, and cacheability? This would be a nightmare for our particular purposes - where conservation of server resources during spikes in usage can be a critical issue.
Is there an enyo-esque technique for asset consolidation that already in play that I should research and employ?
