hey guys,

just curious, how much javascript (total filesize) is too much for a fast site? I've been messing with the scriptaculous stuff and its like 200 Kb...

thanks
Andrew

jQuery's much leaner, but at any rate your javascript includes will be cached by the browser. 200k is quite excessive though, IMO.

I agree with Kieran. It should not be that big.

So.... how does this work?
