My HR web service, used to check if colleagues are on paid leave, has a paginated view of an html table of paid leaves, 30 people per page. A single page contains about 2 million times the character "space", which in the vast majority of html rendering, is completely ignored (exceptions when they actually separate symbols and when they're present in raw text rendered as-is).

There so many more ways to improve performance without minifying code.
