Shouldn't it be a higher priority? More and more web users are accessing sites from low powered devices with slow connections that might even have data caps (think tablets or netbooks on 3G networks). Twitter pages don't even seem particularly complex functionally or graphically, so why should the payload be so large?

More and more users are on mobile devices, sure. But those load up the mobile version of the Twitter site, which is very lean.

  Not when they are clicking on a link in email or other page. EDIT: misread your comment. Thought you were talking about mobile apps. Also, I would not call their mobile site 'very lean'. Just got a single twit page on iPhone: 817Kb.

    Really? Because when I go to a Twitter link on my phone it redirects me to the mobile site, irrespective of the original domain.

      I was wrong, see update.

  The mobile version that loads on my iPad is different from the one that loads on my iPhone, and it looks like it uses more javascript. Does anyone know the size of the iPad page?
