how does minify affect the times to decompress and load the css I wonder?

Unless client combines decompress and CSS parsing, they would at least allocate memory for the whitespace before parsing and then skipping them.

It might be better to have slightly bigger payload on the wire to save time after decompress.

My money is on much less than the time it would take to send the extra bytes over the wire. But I suppose measurement is key :D
