There is some, but not enough for us to know in advance what sort of
impact this will have. But Aaron Hafaker and I are working on it, and
we are going to be rigorous about measuring it, and we will report
back.

You can find out the current byte size of the module store by
evaluating "mw.loader.inspect('store')" in a JavaScript console on the
wikis on which it is enabled (test, test2, beta cluster, and twn).
testwiki's JavaScript payload is usually a superset of the modules
deployed on various wikis, and the size of a fully warm module cache
is 710 kB. This should leave plenty of room on all but the most
restrictive platforms. However, if it does end up soaking up so much
space that it compromises the functionality of other scripts, I think
we could simply modify the implementation to make it honor some soft
limit, possibly one that is determined in reference to the user agent.

Thank you for doing that.
