You lose the ability to remove unused code, but for people using this, it doesn't matter, because it is cached anyway.

I was under the impression that parsing (etc.) time matters as well, not just raw download time/latency?

Yes that's fair, with less code you have less to parse. Parsing time is ideally a negligible amount of time, especially because it can normally happen asynchronously, but for very large libraries I could see it being an issue.

"ideally"
