people seem to always talk about this as if it's about the time to download.

Open the profiler and see how long it takes for your computer to parse and execute those 5 megs of JS. especially if its not crafted in the right way for V8 or whatever to ignore the contents.

Also all the garbage your code might run on first run to get started. "Garbage" here being used as neutrally as possible (I like Python and it has a similar "pay init costs up the wazoo for anything" feelings)

I'm well aware of profiling as I am lead on this project.

No issues.
