Didn't see another post on the subject, so decided to log it here. Instructions below:

Instructions:
1. Visit http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/download.php.
2. Download PHP version of the TinyMCE compressor download.
3. Copy tiny_mce_gzip.php into /manager/media/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/
4. Edit /manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_content.dynamic.action.php from this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="./media/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js"></script>

to this:

 <script type="text/javascript" src="./media/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce_gzip.php"></script>

Commentary:
That should be it. Personally, when I load my TinyMCE editor, I can barely see the "Please Wait While Etomite Loads The Page" image flash on the screen. Of course, I own my own personal server, so that's got to count for something with speed. Still, it seems to load faster than it did. Hope this helps anybody else who was bogged down by slow loading times.

Testing:
System tested: Linux Server running Slackware, PHP 4.3.11, MySQL 4.0.24, Apache 1.3.33.
Browsers tested: IE6, Firefox 1.0.7

Update:
On second thought, you may want to hold off. The way the code is set up now, I started getting weird errors in my HTML output. For instance, a table wouldn't center after I told it repeatedly to center. I think it may be a plugin issue...

Will keep you posted.

Figured it out. Had the inline_styles option set in the config. This makes TinyMCE write the code as style="text-align:center" instead of <table align="center">.

Anyway, it's still pretty fast, even after I put some more cleanup options in the tinymce init script.

I don't think this option has been posted but I did have several users attempt using that compressed file in an effort to track down TinyMCE related problems... Using the optional file definitely speeds up editor load times...
