I agree that broadband and HTTP compression allows larger amounts of data be transfered to the user in less time. But it does not become irrelevant. I just wanted to show how fast a hundred kilo bytes can come together without any functionality added.

Additionally I’m not so sure how the size of the javascript increases in memory. This still needs some testing.

I’m just trying to alert developers that they should overthink the way they structure their application. Don’t load too much at once but try to do this over time. Try to present the user the initial view as quickly as possible.
