Re: {% spaceless %} abuse (?)

Oh, I should also mention that the last time I tested this was approx 6 months ago, so this may not be an issue any more.

The other issue is it can cause 'View Source' to freeze up (or in firefox, just not display anything).

The last time I tested this, gzip'ing didn't really make much of a difference.

Essentially we had this block repeated 500 times:

<div>

    <div>

        something here

    </div>

        <input some really long stuff here>

    <div>

</div>

This was then also indented 4x5 places from the left, so the amount of white space was massive.

Some browsers (such as Chrome) handled it fine, but IE8/IE9 lagged pretty badly.

Feel free to test for yourself, but this was certainly our experiences from it.

You did read my comment about using GZip compression, right? GZip is
*really* good at compressing sequences of identical characters. I'd be
deeply surprised if the effect of introducing large blocks of
whitespace into a GZip compressed HTML stream was any more than a
rounding error. It should also be *much* more effective, and involve
less computational load, than the effect of running a regex over your
page to extract whitespace (which is all spaceless is doing).
