No, the base classes do not weight anything in the resulting SWF. Yes, most of these queue loading libraries are everything-to-everyone fat things. But hey, why create a google code project for 1 class? Let's beat the loading concept to death!
That said, BulkLoader feels lightweight compared to Masapi (easy win). And QueueLoader seems lighter than BulkLoader - this is a good point, but the code is still too "seriously" designed and full of plain silly things in it.
