There is one other solid argument for keeping jquery filesize down: dial-up modem is one part of reality, costly internet surfing via mobile phone connection (gprs, wap ...) is another one, which also should increase in the future.

Even so, I still stick to my 'magic' number. Our company normally deals with large images and photos, but I always optimize them as much as possible (the average 3.7mb photo, I reduced down to 65kb at 800x533) to display on the site - although I provide a link to the high-res image if required. I've seen plenty sites that don't bother, and even on broadband the page can take ages to load. Add on top of this uncompressed, large JS libraries, some sites can feel like i'm back on a 14.4kb diaup.
