I decided to try out JSmin+ after upgrading as that seemed to be the suggested route. While I didn't notice it right away (as I was dealing with other performance issues) I recently discovered that JSmin+ was taking about 2 or 3 times longer to create the minimized file than the standard JSmin and as some of my pages can take 2 seconds to minify to start with, this was having a very negative effect for logged in users. This happened regardless of Gzip settings on a local host -- Apache process using 100% of CPU for the full 5-7 seconds, whatever it is that JSmin is doing, it is trying really hard :-)

I'm willing to help debug if there is any information you require ... but I'm pleased enough with the regular version I'm not looking to solve this issue myself.

Since the aggregated files are cached, this doesn't seem to break anything. Changing the category to feature request.

This is a problem of JSmin+, so it cannot be solved in Javascript Aggregator. Please contact the author of JSMIN+.
