Hi Matthew,

Extracted Dojo makes up 35.2MB of the total 57.9MB, leaving 22.6MB for the
rest of the framework.

1.5.2 was 21.0MB, so I would say the Dojo addition is a large fraction.

ZIP compressed the externals folder alone (which only contains Dojo) is
22.7MB, removing externals and recompressing leaves me with 6.37MB where
1.5.2 was 6.11MB.

Will this stop me from using ZF? No, but it does concern me that future
partnerships will add to the file size.

Regards,
Steven

Well, for one, there are a ton of new components, which means more code,
more tests, and more documentation. As you also note, Dojo is shipping
with ZF now, which also boosts the size some (though the Dojo repo is
fraction of ZF's size).

We have been discussing shipping a "lean-and-mean" distribution that
does not include documentation, tests, dojo, or the localization files
(the i18n/l10n files account for a large percentage of the distro). I'm
not sure how soon we will be doing this, but it _has_ been on our radar
for some time.
