By order of file size, packed is the smallest, then minifed, then normal. However, the packed version has an overhead: It must be uncompressed, on the client-side, using a JavaScript decompression algorithm. This unpacking has a tangible cost in load time. This means, in the end, that using a minifed version of the code is much faster than the packed one - even though its file size is quite larger.

Arrix Zminify + gzip = best

Next time you pick a compression technique, remember this formula:
Total_Speed = Time_to_Download + Time_to_Evaluate
