Just noticed this
Here's one for all you programmer types: http://userguide.icu-project.org/packaging-icu4j
"However, in doing so, the results may become quite large on disk. A default build of ICU4J normally results in nearly 16 MB of data"
Take note: they care about 16MB of data being large!
Somewhat OT but it's a subject that should always be on topic whenever programming comes up ...
