Google PageSpeed complains about theme.min.js (not being used)

[mfcss]

I'm trying to optimize our page speed, and one of the top recommendations is consistently related to the theme.min.js file. Is there some way to optimize this beyond the standard way it's loaded in the Debut theme - and is it required for my store to function as it should?

Please see my response in this thread:

I have been optimzing debut theme as a side project, and optimizing theme.js is one of the to-dos.
Trust me, it's not easy, i've spent hours and I'm nowhere near done.
