As Javascript becomes more ubiquitous, I think it's also worth paying extra attention to the size of Javascript files - and the complexity in parsing them. A minified javascript file may require less bandwidth, but it still requires the same amount of CPU for the browser to parse the code. Something to keep in mind.
