The overhead would obviously depend of the extend of the dictionary, but in my experience, it shouldn't be much of a delay. A properly indexed table with a few hundred records is quicly searched. However it could be made possible to toggle/untoggle the feature for each user.
The increased size of the page would also be insignificant with regards to load-time, unless of course you wish to include the complete Webster's definition of each word...
The task that would really scare me if I were to implement this would be to come up with definitions that wouldn't p... somebody off
