Do spaces/comments slow Javascript down?
<p>I was wondering, do whitespaces and comments slow down JavaScript? I'm doing a brute force attack which takes some time (30 seconds). Removing whitespaces does not show a significant growth in speed, but I think the browser just does have to parse more.</p>

<p>So, is it of any use to remove unnecessary whitespaces and comments to speed the whole up?</p>
