We load the entire jQuery library, but I would be that most of us use only a fraction of it on any give website. I'll probably never do anything about it, but it is an interesting philosophical issue.
Thanks for that info. I agree its kind of neat - and for a second I thought about reducing the library (knowing I only use a small portion of it on most of my sites). But then I remembered the cache. Chances are, most people already have the library cached and a smaller library would actually be an extra request.
