Re: {% spaceless %} abuse (?)

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).
