No, it's great to load a multi-megabyte page full of Javascript for your application-oriented website, in particular when you are looking for reading a few (kilo-)bytes. I think every website should be growing towards an application with some splash logo. Alas, there will be some point where browsers cannot have a nice downloading interface for the application. It can be easily solved by having the user download a download manager application. It will be so user-friendly!
To be even more effective, you can make it so that the application is only loaded once and the data is be retrieved when needed, optimizing the use of the network. I would go even farther: I think that, at some point, a lot of applications will be using a common base for retrieving and displaying the data from the network. It may be a little avant-guarde, but it would be great to have a single application that would handle the content from all application. I know it's just science-fiction, but wouldn't that be great?
