I'm not talking about download times, I'm talking about execution time. Size affects execution performance, whether it is cached or not.

This is because almost invariably the larger the JS is, the more code you're likely executing.

That's not necessarily true; jQuery does all kinds of performance tricks that are far too complicated to do in straight JS code.

This is exactly why I run my text editors in Windows 95 still. There is far less code than current versions of windows and I find a huge performance hit when using these newer versions.
