For non-library code, it is faster to include the javascript with the
html because it saves a web request.  For library code, it is a
trade-off... an extra web request vs loading the js from the cache
during subsequent page views.

I also think creating a js file for each page is painful.  When you
change the html you generally have to change the javascript, so why
not keep it in one place?
