I'm sort of stuck because I really need both. Speed is great and if it
were up to only me then I would agree with you guys about the
priority.  But I work for a company who hosts and maintains nearly
1500 sites.  If we adopt a JS library, file size is a large factor in
our decision due purely to the bandwidth costs.  We get hate-email
from our server guys and our VPs if file sizes go up too much;
especially because of something they see as peripheral like
javascript. A couple K means a lot to us when multiplied by the number
of daily visits we serve. I'll tell you that file size of the packed
library file was a large factor in our choosing jQuery over Prototype
for a base js library for our new sites. The other factor being of
course that it rules.

Just a thought,

Paul
