We focus a lot on the size and performance of TinyMCE, each feature, optimization and fix adds more KB to the source, we always weigh fixes and feature against the increase in size of the package. If you use TinyMCE without compression, the Javascript, with all plugins and all features, is around 150kb, if you use the GZIP feature, you get it down to 75kb.

Is this big? Lets take a few examples, if you surf on a newspaper website, something most of us visit every day, you load far more than TinyMCE.

Here are some examples of some of the most visited websites in Sweden.

www.aftonbladet.se
CSS: 252kb
HTML: 244kb
JS: 252kb

www.dn.se
CSS: 325kb
HTML: 231kb
JS: 187kb

www.idg.se
CSS: 126kb
HTML: 140kb
JS: 175kb

This is without images or flash. Am I the only one to find this completely insane? Doing this test made my browser crash just surfing between these websites.

Perhaps TinyMCE is Tiny after all.
