Comment (by DD32):

 One of the problems with consolodating everything (particually styles) is
 that they're not all unique, In the sense that some styles conflict
 between stylesheets..

 Theres also Conditionals which need to be taken into consideration for
 styles, Then theres styles which are only registered if they're needed on
 a page.

 Then theres the extra load on the webserver having to load all of
 WordPress's files, where before it could mearly load half a dozen static
 files (Which load incredibly fast compared to PHP).

 Scripts are a bit easier to combine, But still can have conflicts.

 If you wish to have the files compressed, Most webservers come with
 modules/functions to automatically compress the static files with gzip.

 Theres also Gears which is caching scripts and styles locally for users..

 And now theres this plugin i just wrote up to do the job.. It doesnt
 support ltr styles, It breaks the CSS on every page, and most Javascript
 refuse to load, and it doesnt compress (unless PHP is set to auto-
 compress), It was mearly to see what can be done, and as a base for
 someone else to work off potentially. (See Attachment)
