> I thought that Chrome would ship with specific dictionaries (say one for js, one for css, etc) and advertise them and you could use the same server-side. But this is really convoluted.
More convoluted, but I expect using an old version as the source for the dictionary will yield significantly better results than a generic dictionary for that type of file.
Of course it doesn't help the first load, which might be more noticeable than subsequent loads when not every object has been modified. Perhaps having a standard dictionary for each type for the first request and using a specific one when the old version if available, would give noticeable extra benefit for those first requests for minimal extra implementation effort.
