Google is a bad example, historically the landing page has been interestingly optimised.
Lots of corporate websites are multi-hundred MB things though you are right.
Edit I take it back, the worst ones I checked have been redesigned
I'd like you to name 1 that's multi-hundred MB.
Can't, I was thinking of MSN.com but they had a redesign sometime, they come in at 5.6mb now
I saw something where the NYT webside takes up over 100MB if RAM.
