A much more efficient way is to activate "gzip" compression
for your pages. It not only handles white space efficiently
(and correct for e.g. pages with "pre" tags or similar CSS directives)
it also compresses other text. You not only gain 25 % but about 70 %
(in the size of requests).

You will not save RAM on the server side (of course), but
hopefully (and very likely) the scripts are not the major
user of RAM on your site.
