First, I should have specified the average *U.S.* user, and in so
doing realized how dumbly "own-nation-centric" that was.  My
apologies.  But I got it from this:
http://arstechnica.com/telecom/news/2010/01/us-broadband-still-lagging-in-speed-and-penetration.ars

No idea how accurate that is, and I didn't break that into download
vs. upload speeds.  It puts the U.S. 18th in the world rankings of
average connection speed.

Also, for what it's worth, I noticed in making an .exe yesterday that
sqlite3.dll is listed as 843 kB.  That may be because it includes
pysqlite as well, I don't know.  In any case, that is at least
appreciably higher than the 300 kb I listed above, though not too
bad.  If someone is trying to squeak out every last bit of savings in
making their .exe small, then sqlite.dll is something they could
consider excluding, if they can.  But for most cases, no user will
care about the extra size.
