here is my grunt task declaration:

ngtemplates: {
  options: {
    module: 'templates',
    standalone: true,
    htmlmin: {
      collapseBooleanAttributes:      true,
      collapseWhitespace:             true,
      removeAttributeQuotes:          false,
      removeComments:                 true, // Only if you don't use comment directives!
      removeEmptyAttributes:          false,
      removeRedundantAttributes:      false,
      removeScriptTypeAttributes:     true,
      removeStyleLinkTypeAttributes:  true
    }
  },
  dev: {
    cwd: '<%= yeoman.app %>',
    src: ['modules/**/*.html'],
    dest: '<%= yeoman.app %>/modules/templates/templates.js'
  }
}

and here is verbose output:

For obvious reasons i tried to compile the same templates with gulp-angular-templatecache npm module.

Here are the results:

$ gulp templates
Using gulpfile ~/Projects/my-project/gulpfile.js
Starting 'templates'...
Finished 'templates' after 71 ms

htmlmin is always the problem:

https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=htmlmin%20hangs

You can check out most of the other issues opened on this project to see they're all htmlmin.

Remove that, and this library is just a wrapper :)
