Google Analytics JavaScript code is embarrassing

Google bought Urchin, a web tracking service, and are branding it as "Google Analytics". The service works by having you embed a code on your website which loads a JavaScript file from the Google servers (the JavaScript then sends Google data about each hit). The code they are using is located at:

http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js

And I find it quite embarrassing for Google. Where do I start:

• If they are going to rebrand it, they should at least name the file "Analytics.js"
• The file is 17KB. That means that any visitor to a page being tracked by Analytics has to download an extra 17KB unless it's cached. To compare - Google.com is 12KB. If it was being tracked by analytics - it would take more than twice as long to load.
• About 3KB of the JavaScript file is comments. They can be removed without hurting functionality. The comments are of no use to webmasters as they can't change the code - it sits on the Google servers!
• What's even more embarassing about the comments is that they were actually written by the Urchin team and are used to help configure the Urchin Tracker. An especially funny comment is //-- **** Don't modify below this point ***
• I wont go into this, but close examination of the code shows that about 25% of it can be shaved off with no effect. That's in addition to the comments. They could shrink it to 8KB without changing any of the backend.
• Also, the script puts a lot of parsing work on the client - which is actually a good idea, but hurts user experience due to the prolonged download speeds of the parsing functions. I don't know about you, but I don't like adding 17KB to each of my pages.

All that said, it's a good service, and it's free. I use it, and will probably continue to use it. But I expected more from Google. After all, Matt and Brin are rumoured to still count the amount of words on Google.com to make sure it doesn't become a cumbersome "Portal".
