In the default configuration, the JQuery files are not compressed when transmitted.
Even when I modified the Defaults to compress by default, they were not being compressed.
It turns out that compression only is meaningful if there is also a combine so the .axd is called, and hence the HttpHandler.
However, understanding this, it is possible to reduce your payload by quite a bit, 170KB -> 55KB.
Furthermore, if the JQuery and JQueryUI .js files were combined, then there would be a reduction of the overhead for the second load.
Great work!!!! Some very interesting ideas and implementations. I look forward to the next release

Hello Matthew,
Indeed by default only combined scripts (and css for that matter) can be compressed. The reason for this is that only during combination is the custom HTTP handler used.
For the time being there is no easy way to combine the jquery and jquery-ui javascript files in the same request. It should have been possible by changing the group in which the jquery-ui script is added to "Default" but this currently does not work. I totally agree that this is a must-have feature and we will implement that in a future release.
