Google Chrome is bundling ICU, so they're not limited by what's on

How much does this bundling add to the Google Chrome download size.
Presumably someone can compile/package Chromium with and without or
compare the size of the build from before the feature landed and after.

Also, has anyone looked at whether the ICU tables would benefit from
special-purpose data compression being applied to them, and then
decompressed at install time (or even run-time, if RAM use is an issue)?
This might be a ideal case for using a compression algorithm with a
compute-intensive compression phase and a fast decompression phase (PPM
and LZMA come to mind), possibly after a custom hand-tuned
pre-processing step to make the job of the statistical compressor
faster, if appropriate.
