That would be cool! gzip on the fly in the slimmer module. However, that's not the point. The point is that slimmer.py removes whitespace from html, css and js. At least it does _that_ well :)
"Or how about both?"
I suspect that you'd save very little space by removing whitespace then gzipping, compared to gzipping alone -- whitespace is very compressable. I suppose that would be of interest to add to --test, to do gzipped bytes before and after. I'd try it, but I can't find a slimmer.py that works like you show...?
