Nice work. I lust for full program transformation... :-)

Looking at squish_penlight.png, one more good item to compare is 
"(full minify) (gzip)". This will (I think) compare compressed 
keywords versus compressed uglified keywords. I've done some 
testing in the past -- keywords compresses well, what more it's a 
large file, so the file size might end up quite close to the 
minimum of 27.6KB, perhaps under 35KB.
