Is it really that big of a perf hit to just download the minified and use it in your source like all other libs? jq isn't that big of beast, plus if you have a large site its cached for every other page visit :)

until you modify your own js (not that rare and uncommon) and it's back new and shiny again. from the cdn, it's just already there sitting in the browser's cache.
