FWIW I remember trying that 200mb+ version a few years ago. It was so slow to open the dictionary pop-up when selected that I decided it was totally impractical. Also for words with multiple usage it was quite common to find the dictionary widget needed 500+ 'pages' to swipe through the whole definition

I'm all in favour of 'better' dictionaries, but this one was a step too far for me.
