Why are Live Agent Javascript libraries not gzipped?

Why are Live Agent Javascript libararies such as https://c.la2c1cs.salesforceliveagent.com/content/g/js/37.0/deployment.js not gzipped? We are trying to build a perfomant website and this file that is over 40KB large could be really cut down by gzipping it. Gzipping is industry standard and best practice. All of these sort of files should be gzipped. Is this a change we can see happen?

Hello? No response? This really is bad that this file is only cached for 60 seconds (even when it has a version #) and not gzipped. It's one of the largest files on site because of this! We strive to have our site have great performance and would like to see LiveAgent not hold this back.

The longest (by far) bar is Live Agent (https://c.la4-c1-chi.salesforceliveagent.com/content/g/js/37.0/deployment.js)
Can we please get this gzipped to help imprrove performance?

Hi Marcus,

Were you able to resolve this issue, as I am encountering a similar issue, if it is resolved can you please guide me on resolving it , as I am getting very little help from salesforce support

Nope, Salesforce seems completely inept when it comes to enabling this simple feature.
