Tutorial: Using SD/micro SD cards with an Arduino

Our friends at Adafruit have posted this tutorial on using SD and Micro SD cards with Arduino. This is a great resource for beginners looking to expand their knowledge as well as advanced users who want to brush up on microcontroller interfacing skills.
They use the latest version of the Adafruit SD Card library available on Github along with the Adafruit MicroSD card breakout board.

Just having a glance at the code, it looks like there’s a certain amount of it- just curious, what is the memory footprint of this SD library including FAT handling?
The support for the file system (fat16, etc) usually requires LOTS of code space, which could be tricky for embedded systems, no?
