I have most of the TLD zone files that it is possible to get. They're all gzipped so if you wanted to estimate the uncompressed master file sizes, multiply these sizes by about 3. The smallest from CZDS is 1.4K, the largest are .top (599M), .net (262M), and .org (260M). The median is under 4K. All but 11 are under 20M. For the ones you get other ways, .com is huge at 2.7G, then .info (110M), .biz (37M), ..us (30M), and a handful of forgettable ones under 5M. So, yeah, there are plenty of TLDs you could pre-cache if you wanted to. CZDAP downloads come from a web server that ICANN currently hosts directly but could move to a CDN if the demand got large enough.
