I wonder how much of this growth is due to retina images. A consequence of the page bloat is that the ipad 1 has become almost unusable to browse the web because it has only 256 mb ram. If the current page doesn't fit in ram, safari closes down. I remember at one point that browsing slashdot and amazon on a machine with 128 mb ram worked just fine. There's no reason for the current bloat aside from simply not caring about efficiency.
