I am thoroughly confused on what actually gets compiled into the SWF. It's still amazing to me that BulkLoader.as alone is 12kb compiled. But then it is bogged down by so many mostly useless functions like substituteURLString, or guessType. It would be great if these were separated off into a utility or something. Unfortunately BulkLoader seems to have a goal of being everything to everyone and size doesn't much factor into that.
