jQuery used to have a way of downloading only the bits you need, but it looks like that's no longer on the site. So you're using either the full compressed version or the full uncompressed version.

Actually, DomQuery is only 6Kb and its only dependency is YAHOO.util.Dom .. Jack also points out that the only dependency in YAHOO.util.Dom is getStyle and you could easily substitute your own. The whole jQuery library compressed seems to be about 19 or 20K. I didn't see an option to get only parts of it, so there may be a way to trim that down. I tend to use quite a bit of the yui-ext library, so individual component sizes aren't a big issue for me, but I do like that you can use sections of it in your code with relatively few dependencies.
