It isn't quite that bad: You need to count the "c" directory only, which is 690kB on my system.
I was looking at the directory which gets installed to site-packages. That's 1790kB on my system.
That's why I was suggesting to use Hisao's codecs as default and to revert to Tamito's in case they are installed (much like you'd use cStringIO instead of StringIO if it's installed).
The analogy isn't that good here: it would be more similar if StringIO was incomplete, e.g. would be lacking a .readlines() function, so you would have no choice but to use cStringIO if you happen to need .readlines().
