Are there any downsides to including the jquery library on my page?
===

I have been using javascript for some while now and recently began using jquery which I will admit I am fan of.
`<script type='text/javascript' src='../locationOfJquery/jquery.js'></script>`  allows use of the library in the script tags on that page.  What I want to know is if just including the script tags slows down page load time any, even if there is no jquery code on the page, and also if there are any other major downsides to using jquery
