It makes sense to minify only those scripts that are loaded by clients, because. 100 kilobytes saved with a million downloads is 100 gigabytes saved, and not everyone has a fast Internet (users of a slow Internet will not wait for the download and leave). But the server scripts are loaded into memory in one copy when the server is started, they are not transmitted anywhere over the network - it is extremely pointless to save money. Even if you save 10 megabytes, with the current amount of memory, this is not a lot.
