> E.g. when importing a library like JQuery, you're paying for a lot of crap in it that you don't need.

Although a plus of something like jQuery, if you get it off google's cdn, is that probably most users will already have it sitting on their disk so you they won't actually need to download it. It gets cached by default for up to a year.



Sure, didn't mean to pick on JQuery, it was a random example and indeed, Google's CDN link is so popular that many users have it cached.
