Q:

rxjs bundle from unpkg

I have an angular 2.0.0 (same issue in 2.2.0) project. The current dev build generates > 100 http requests.
This is due to it loading non-bundled versions of rxjs..
When I have the following :
    map: {
        // our app is within the app folder
        app: 'app',
        // angular bundles
        // snip
        'rxjs': 'npm:rxjs',
        'angular-in-memory-web-api': 'npm:angular-in-memory-web-api',
    },

The app works but we have 1000+ http requsts , so I try to load rxjs from the bundle, todo this I remove rxjs': 'npm:rxjs' and I add the following
Note, for both the npm: loads from unpkg
    paths: {
        // paths serve as alias
        'npm:': 'https://unpkg.com/',
        'rxjs/*': 'https://unpkg.com/@reactivex/rxjs/dist/global/Rx.js'
    },

The ReactiveX git page suggests that this package should work or is it missing something else??
I get the following error with the second config 
Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: Cannot read property 'call' of undefined

This issue is discussed in detail here and the solution is to use your own loader such as (code credit nros
Apparently, it's going to be fixed in a future release I suspect this is being held back as rxjs is still in beta.
rxjsLoader.js
// see: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/9359
// in case all parts of RxJS are loaded with a single file (eg: Rx.js), Angular 2 may have
// difficulties using/requiring the various parts.
// this custom loader translates requests to these parts to the already loaded Rx entity.
//
// eg: Angular:
//      require('rxjs/observable/from')  -->  Rx.Observable
//      require('rxjs/operator/concatMap')  -->  Rx.Observable.prototype
//      require('rxjs/util/EmptyError')  -->  Rx
//
// Angular will access 'rxjs/observable/from' as rxjs_observable_from.from
// so, the last part of the included module (eg: 'from') denotes the property name to access
// the required value.
SystemJS.amdDefine(SystemJS.baseURL + "rxjsLoader.js", ["rxjs"], function (Rx) {
    'use strict';

    // custom loader for RX.js to instantiate the correct value
    // see: https://github.com/ModuleLoader/es-module-loader/blob/v0.17.0/docs/loader-extensions.md
    return {
        fetch: function fetch(loadData) {
            return ""; // no fetch - "Rx" is already loaded!
        },

        translate: function translate(loadData) {
            return "";
        },

        instantiate: function instantiate(loadData) {

            // loadData.name contains the full URL
            var propertyName = loadData.name.replace(/^.*\/rxjs-parts\/(.*)$/i, "$1").replace(/\.js$/i, "");

            // if property name is not empty, evaluate and use it
            if (propertyName.length > 0 && !(/^\s*$/.test(propertyName))) {
                var parts = propertyName.split("/"),
                    targetObject = Rx
                ;

                // Angular 2 expects the return value to be an object
                // and the last part of the name to be the property of that object

                for (var i=0; i < parts.length-1; i++) {
                     var partName = parts[i],
                         upperCaseName = partName.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + partName.slice(1)
                     ;

                     // handle special case for "operator/*"
                     if (partName === "operator") {
                         return Rx.Observable.prototype;

                     } else if (targetObject[partName] !== undefined) {
                         targetObject = targetObject[partName];

                     } else if (targetObject[upperCaseName] !== undefined) {
                         targetObject = targetObject[upperCaseName];

                     } else {
                         // skip name and try with next part name. eg: "utils"
                         continue;
                     }
                }

                return targetObject;

            } else {
                // return the Rx as default
                return Rx;
            }
        }
    };
