The minified/gzipped jQuery on that page is 32.8k.

The gzipped turn.min.js it comes out to 6k.

It's like half of this comments page is filled with people TRYING to come up with something overly critical to say. What a negative site this place has become.

Jeez man, I explicitly prefaced my comment with "nitpick", as in "minor quibble" as in "not overly important." I can't help not many people get very excited by a page turn animation.
