I've noticed <script type="text/javascript" src="/bundles/jqueryval"></script>

Will merge the files into a single HTTP request

But if I use the @Scripts.render I.E @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")

They are still separate HTTP requests/files?

Make sure you are running in Release mode:

<pilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0" />

if you want the scripts to be minified and bundled into a single one.

You can also force it by code with BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true; at BundleConfig
