Are you talking about a downloaded empty.html or  a downloaded version of 
tiddlywiki.com?

TW.com contains all translated interface languages. So your users may need 
only one or 2 of them. 

As mentioned already, you can create 

* as single file, that contains a static version of all tiddlers. No 
javascript ... should work with all browsers.
* many static files, that contain single tiddlers. No javascript ... should 
work with all browsers.

or 

* if you want TW functionality (eg: search), you could compress the 
javascript source code, to get a smaller file size. 

IMO at the moment it doesn't make sense to compress the core js code. ... I 
doubt it ever will. 

reasons:

* A well designed server will send a compressed version over the wire, to 
the browser. So web traffic will be less, than the actual file size.
   * 621kByte sent 2100kByte file size  ... tiddlywiki.com.html
   * 187kByte sent 892kByte file size ... empty.html

* In my opinion, the advantage to have readable source code, outweights the 
win of less disk space.
* Many users include images into there TWs. So if you include one image 
with about 300kbyte, the "compressed javascript" file size advantage is 
gone. 
* Harddisk space is cheap.
* Maintaining a compressed TW is not cheap. 

just my 2 cents
