Mark, this doesn't make sense - a .png icon is 5K. Let's say that you have browsed 1000 apps - that's ~5M. I very much doubt descriptions will increase this number to more than 6MB. Let's put 4 MB of comments (ahem). Now, compare 10MB to 21 - my guess is Market does a little bit more than expected.
