It's not huge, but there are cases where size matters - mostly because the public perceive a huge application download as a sign of something bloated and probably hard to use. Imagine releasing a cool new HTML Cleaner Library - with a 5MB download of which only 268KB is the cleaner library itself ;).
That said - that scenario is when deploying/distributing something - getting the component from the ZF site to start with should mean size doesn't matter. It's a relatively tiny download - a few seconds with a decent connection.
