 ^^^ useless question: depends on what I want let run on my Xserver.

 However it is impressing how much space the locale, keyboard and
fonts require comparing binary code!!!

6100	usr/lib/X11/fonts
1272	usr/lib/locale
2348	usr/share/X11/locale
2600	usr/share/X11/xkb
===
12320	42.5% (fonts, locale, xkb)

80		usr/X11R6
384		usr/share - X11
5992	usr/lib - locale - X11/fonts
2452	usr/bin - Xservers + Xvesa
====
8908	30.7% (tinyx)

2056	kernel
3940	lib/modules
====
5996	20.7% (kernel)

1768	busybox + rootfs + lib + everything else
====
1768	6.1% (system)

28992 	TOTAL

 Fonts installed are good to run tinyx (in any language/kb of he
world) but not enough to run blackbox, in this case .
