I have an IE bookmarklet that attempts to calculate page weight, but
unfortunately it only deals with the size of the HTML page and any images
included with the <img> tag - it doesn't include the sizes of CSS files,
external javascripts and background images attached using CSS. Still, you
might find it useful (word wrap warning):
javascript:void((function(){var
element=document.createElement('script');element.setAttribute('src','http://www.gazingus.org/js/pageWeight.js');document.body.appendChild(element)})())
