How heavy is a mdx file that have 11k tris w/o bones, and animations?

Does anybody know about this?

Every vertex is 36 bytes.
Every face is 12 bytes.
Every matrix group takes most likely 4 bytes (can be more, depending on your skinning).

If you have no animation data, this will be most of the file size (there's more stuff, of course).

Not very heavy, I don't think I ever had a model file without animations that was bigger than like 600~800kb.
Computing wise it is also pretty light, I never had issues running lots of polies, the polies themselves aren't as important as the number of matrix groups and bones.

If it's about computation, it's all about the amount of nodes (not only bones), matrix groups, and material layers.
The first two add lots of math calculations, the third splits render calls.

The reason for the question wasn't given though.
