I don't recommend to focus on a certain file size, but rather to develop a philosophy that consequently sorts out unnecessary stuff - load time is an important UX factor [1]. Also, the "10 seconds rule" is a nice rule of thumb, but it may be absolutely legitimate when some documents take more time because they provide lots of useful information (that belongs together).
