Size has very little to do with speed. In fact, it could be the exact
opposite. Small code is so general that there is no room for special case
optimizations. I don't want to start a debate about this, I just wanted
to make the point that a small Mozilla doesn't necessarily equal a fast
one.

The size.. Well, there's the PSM for SSL, then there are three skins pre
packaged - twice, if memory serves, as .jar files and expanded into dirs.
Then there's a large number of test apps... And of course a whole lot of
new features that weren't yet implemented when Mozilla was 4MB. Add a
Java VM to that and you have some 5-6MB more.
