Honestly, I think improved speed depends on the resources needed for the app & loading order. A few external resources hosted on a CDN or separate server (with unique originating URL) could load concurrently, thanks to most browsers having spare Max Connections. A browserified/concocted chunk may have to wait for open HTTP connection, since "Connections per Hostname" has a smaller cap. True, an extra HTTP lookup is needed, but lookup time can be reduced, & IP &/or file may be cached already.|
I did note the extra GZip reduction. But even at best 10 browserified files may save 10 HTTP packets, likely 5, so a few Kilobytes?
Since there are so many variables, I softened the language of the impact.
I'm willing to see some hard proofs either way.
