I want to use jQuery in my RPi Pico 2 project, however, the "min" version I have is around 85k, which really retards performance. My basic need is AJAX calls to operate the hardware on the Pico without loading pages (loading a page to operate hardware creates one of those "oh, yeah" moments if the page reloads for some reason). So I'm looking for similar capabilities without the size. Note that the environment does not require Internet access, so loading from an official site is off the table.
EDIT: By "performance", I'm referring to the overall user experience, specifically, load time - the time it takes to transmit the 85k jQuery. This was easily observed just by adding a reference to the local (on the Pico) download and reloading the page. The performance of jQuery itself has NOTHING to do with the Pico since jQuery runs on the browser.
