Delta.com disaster. This simple little page contains 150k of CSS, and over 500k of Javascript split across 10 files. Oh, and it's completely broken on WebKit.

Notice how "credit card number" is selected, yet it's still prompting me for a SkyMiles number. I think this fairly well demonstrates how badly things go wrong when you use HTML templates and just "include a bunch of common scripts" that you might need on any page. God, what a mess.

650k for style and JavaScript... At that size one's better off with Flash ... xP

And to make matters worse, probably 99+% of it isn't even used for anything on the page. I've seen so many apps like this, where template monkeys just started throwing random javascript into template headers, with no idea whether or where each script is needed. Then they have no decent tools to analyze it, so it just keeps growing, because everyone's afraid to pull anything out.
