simple browser/eye test

i loaded the shorter url page right click page properties

then loaded the real url and right click page properties and compared the 2 sizes

shorter url was 129kb and real url was 19kb

but both reported as 19kb when tested at leknor

I don't trust the browser method.

When I do that on threads I get 81K for the short ones and not available for on the originals. And for the forumhome I get 56K with the short url and 58K with the long url.
