This simply can't be correct. The css file by itself is 26kb. Actually the js file is over 90kb...So it's not correct, unless I'm missing something?

I would expect the source code for a site such as SO to be will over 3 or 4 MB...

Crap. That's a superb example of me not actually processing whether what I'm typing makes sense. The actual size of those is 2.3MB. I'll update the post accordingly. (96.5kB is the size of all the file names in StackOverflow.)

Edit: Post updated.
