Also, -1 for CSS minification, if I'll ever want to make any CSS 
contibutions I'll start by looking at the CSS in the browser.

+1 for gzip and caching. *don't even consider* microoptimizations 
like this if you're not even doing that yet, whatever gains you 
might get are negligible by comparison.
