title: Is jQuery modular? How to trim it down?
body: <p><a href="http://jquerybyexample.blogspot.com/2013/05/jquery-library-file-size-over-years.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Compressed, jQuery is ~70KB in size (uncompressed: >200KB).</a> I did not see a way to exclude rarely used parts of it like with jQuery UI. How can I reduce the (compressed and minified) file size of jQuery? I am quite concerned because dial-up lines and slow machines/browsers are very common among users of my site.</p>
  
  <p><strong>My main concern is parsing duration</strong> of the JavaScript in the browser. On older machines this takes hundreds of milliseconds. The network transfer is a one-time cost which makes this slightly more tolerable.</p>
