A fairer (in my opinion) comparison, with minimised jquery:

    92629 jquery-1.9.1.min.js
    32666 (35.26%) gzip -9
    31691 (34.22%) zopfli with standard compress
    31688 (34.20%) zopfli with max compress

     31783 gzip with 32KB dictionary and 128 word size
     31764 above with filename stripped

I am too lazy to strip out the filename so there is a few bytes penalty, so it's more like 31764

So in this case it's

    31688 
      vs
    31764

76 bytes

I guess the real question is what is the decode penalty time if any?
