Is 19kb faster? sure is
Will it use less disk space? sure does (less data on saved in database)
Less bandwidth? yep -- do the math

Less server load? not really

tableless layouts are treated as text -- what I mean is that your browser will display the first character as soon as it reads it

with tables (it depends on code and the browser you use) ...
some content may not be displayed until the last character within table is read

tableless layouts can be viewed on all modern appliances (pdas, etc)
