It's my opinion that wording needs to be changed on the front page. That's been the source of so much confusion on this list, not to mention the people who never even post about it.

It's a 46k minified file. To get the 14k size, you have to serve it via a web server that has gzip compression enabled AND the browser must be able to accept gzip compression. If the browser can't accept gzip compression, or if your web server can't serve it using gzip compression, then it's 46k for the browser. - Bil
