It appears the build (Windows 9600.16384.x86 Windows Blue RTM IoT build 140731-1000 Galileo v1) weighs in at 174 MB. A typical Windows 8.1 installation consumes 3 GB of space, so this is nearly 1/20th the size of an average Windows 8.1 install. Boot time takes roughly 2 minutes, versus boot times of anywhere from 3 seconds to 30 seconds with Windows 8.1 on traditional computers.
