There's less stuff on the page, of course it'll be smaller/faster.

2MB for the default .. even Google's seems to be about 1.5~2MB just from looking at my debug console. I wonder how this compares to search engine landing pages back around 2000 or 2005; back when 1MB could take you a few minutes on dialup. DDG Lite might be just the right size for 90s era sites.

Sorry to nitpick, but I think you meant to use byte units (with a capital B), not bits (lower-case b).
