I haven't really done any tests on exact quantities.  I'm just going on the 
assumption that "less is more".  I suspect that individual packages may not 
save that much in space/resources, but an accumulation of them may add up.  
And the packages that have translations for a number of languages will also 
add up.

gettext by itself is about 13 MB, plus archives and logs.
