    require_tree . will result in you having a single file (application.js in this case) holding all your scripts that is there in the folder. And the fact that browsers will only pull that file once from your web server (unless you do a Ctrl + R refresh or there is a change in file cache property), does make the apps behave faster for subsequent requests.

    Unless of course you have an application that have quite varying and huge scripts and a typical user is not expected to move around much that he wouldn’t need majority of those. Which obviously is not very common case.
