Newer versions do, for what it's worth.

I didn't test speed differences, I just worked on the assumption that
smaller is better. I think shaving off every byte we can is going to
add up to speed improvements.

As a mostly-front-end guy who can't contribute to server-side speed
improvements I consider it my job to make whatever performance
improvements I can where I can. There's definitely more we can do, and
I will continue to argue that we need to make the speed of the
interface a higher priority than the ease of the developers' workflow.

That said, I'm anxious to move forward on a Bootstrap upgrade, not
least because it should be clearer to everyone what's in Bootstrap and
what isn't.
