htaccess in folder

Hi

I have today try with the last dev to have the htacess file in the folder...server was still very slow and i was not able to access the advagg_js/js_c4be3001e38457fb65b303e4d168488a_0.js dont know why to the .css files i have access.
i pull now the rules in the root htaccess and i have access to the files .js and .css server now fast again
