I did a testing consisting of saving a blank Wikipedia article page and it ended up being <STRONG>211,207 bytes</STRONG> of stuff to download (HTML, JavaScript, images etc.) for exact <STRONG>1,249 bytes</STRONG> of text (menus, header, footer etc.). This resolves into a <STRONG>169:1 ratio</STRONG> for article size vs. article actual content. Pretty big number, isn’t it?</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8B269564-4AC4-4B9D-B4EE-9E331C6078CE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
