Would have been interesting to see if the quotes made an impact or not, as well. I can't see it making that much of a difference...

If someone suggests removing quotes to reduce download size, chances are they don't understand compression.
Yeah. I mean 4,517 seems like a big number to humans but meh. You're talking about a highly optimized parser. It's likely going to rip through those quotes in about the same time it takes to dispatch a single unjit'd/unoptimized javascript function invocation at runtime.
