440kb+ for CKEditor 4. Am I missing something?

Hey, just got CKEditor 4 beta and I noticed that just the ckeditor.js file alone is 440kb minified... am I using some version with EVERYTHING included?

My entire website has about 330kb of JS minified and I can't justify doubling that for one box where users can highlight a part of text and make it bold.

So am I missing something or is there a very lightweight just standalone BBCode version or something? 440kb is INSANE

That all looks cool but it seems everything is still heavily tied together. Attempted to remove plugins for just a box and bbcode buttons at the top and I think I'm still looking at about 300kb just for a bar with buttons that wraps [bbcode] around things.

Definitely not for me...
